PG&E Issues Urgent Warning

Posted on March 25, 2011March 25, 2011 by ALPHA Board of Directors

(From CBS13 web site)

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – PG&E is issuing an urgent safety warning to residents, cross-country skiers, snowmobilers, hikers and others who may be visiting mountain areas with snow: watch out for low-hanging live power lines.

Normally these high-voltage lines would be 25-to-30 feet above the ground but with the huge amount of snow that has fallen, in some areas, the lines are now only about 6-to-8 feet above the top of the snowpack.

PG&E is warning people to stay away from the line and do not try to go under or near the lines.

And as the weather clears, PG&E is asking motorists to be aware that their crews may be working on power lines in remote areas.
