The primary purpose of this work is to replace a faulty switch. While this section of the circuit is de-energised, BELCO will also take the opportunity to retension the overhead conductors and replace crossarms and insulators as required. New poles have already been installed and are ready for the transfer. These upgrades will strengthen the network and support a safe and reliable electricity service for customers.
