Over here in Gouldboro on the shore road, we got everybody going but one.
00:09
I think it's a bad pot,
00:12
but it's in the right-of-way, and we're not going to do anything with it until tomorrow morning.
00:17
And it's either on poll number, there's two poll numbers on this poll for some reason.
00:23
There's...
00:26
(number withheld) and (number withheld).
00:36
Okay, you got everybody back on but one.
00:39
You think it was a bad transformer and there's two poll numbers all that poll.
00:43
(number withheld) and (number withheld).
00:50
That's right.
00:51
And I don't know if you can figure out the customer off of that pole, but if they, I don't know if we can call them in the morning or something, because they have a Jeep in the way of where we would need to get in with a truck, possibly get in with a squirt boom,
01:08
and exchange that transformer. But if not, we're going to have to climb it.
01:18
Okay, um, it's a little staticie, what did you, did you say they have, like, a vehicle in the way of the pool?
01:25
Poles in the, yes, the pole's in the right-of-way, but we might be able to get a squirt boom up in there if they move their vehicle.
01:35
Okay, might be able to get the squirt boom in if they move their vehicle.
01:39
I'll try to get a hold of them or leave a note for first thing in the morning.
01:45
What size is that transformer, do you know?
01:48
It was just a 10KVA. It was an old Darth Vader looking thing, so we shut it up. We closed the cut out the first time, it blew back, and then we went and shut that transformer off, and it held, so we're fairly confident at that.
02:06
I put in the first poll number, the 875, and I got nothing on that, but I did get one on the 931, and according to GIS, I'm showing there were three customers being fed off of it, two directly across,
02:24
like, across from it, and then one down a span.
02:30
I'm going to walk up there again right now and verify, but that might be old news, I think.
02:39
Okay, and you can just check it out,
02:42
and I'll see if I see anything else on here.
