Power line
maintenance work moves into Utah
Rocky Mountain Power is performing regular power line maintenance work on two
transmission lines between its Naughton power plant near Kemmerer, Wyoming, and
the Ben Lomond substation near North Ogden, Utah.
The work on the
two parallel lines has been underway in Wyoming since August and is now moving
into Utah. During the project some structures will be replaced, lines will be
inspected and general maintenance will be performed on the equipment on the
lines and structures.
“Line
maintenance is an essential part of providing safe, reliable electric service to
our customers,” said George Humbert, Rocky Mountain Power customer and community
manger. “While crews are working on the lines, we want the public to be aware
that heavy equipment, including line trucks and cranes, will be operating in the
area Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.”
Humbert
explained that the Utah portion of the work will take place in Rich and Weber
counties primarily on public lands. The line route is located north of
Huntsville on Utah Department of Wildlife Resources lands east of Pine Canyon
Road, through the Monte Cristo area near Highway 39 and pass just south of
Woodruff before entering the Ben Lomond substation on the west side of I-15 on
the border of Box Elder and Weber Counties.
“We expect the
work to be concluded sometime in November, depending on weather conditions,”
Humbert said.
