Executive Summary:
On 3/31/14 the river crossing at Ford Street experienced multiple faults due to high
wind. Portion of the crossing was re-conductored during 2013-14 capital improvements
program. Due to changing the wire to a lighter weight, uncovered wire along with the
addition of caution signs on two of the three phases, the river crossing experienced a
contact outage during high winds. Staff is recommending rebuilding of the line in a
different configuration to avoid this in the future.
