Weekly Update from the On Site Inspector

PSE/Potelco continues to set new poles and associated underground conduit on the north side of Yelm Highway near ClarMar Lane and Julie Court. They are also setting a new pole on the south side of Yelm Highway at Laura Street. Potelco is communicating daily with the homeowners while working in County owned right of way abutting private property. At times, the power line conversion from the old pole to the new pole requires a temporary power outage to the homes in the immediate area. Potelco is working with the home owners during these short term power outages. Potelco is working 4-10's Monday-Thursday and will not be working on Friday's.   

By the way... those poles are up to 110 feet long, and extend 80-90 feet into the air when installed.
