Flood cuts power
in two Nass villages

ELECTRICITY WAS restored to the Nass
Valley villages of Greenville and Kinco-
Hith last week after a three-day oulage
last week caused when [ood waters
swepl away a power pole.

The linc was severed al No-name
Creek, east of Greenville in the carly
morning hours of Oct. 26, but condilions —
and the length of time it took to make re-
pairs — meant it took until approximately
6 p.m. on Oct, 28 before service was re-
stored,

“We lost one pole and it pulled the
conductors off other poles,” said B.C. Hy-
dro line supervisor Jim Owen of the dam-
age.

A helicopter was used to string a line
from one side of Noname Creek to the
other, a distance of at least 200 fect, said
Owen.

“That was tricky and it’s temporary
until the conditions up there are
stabilized,” he said. ,

Fleoding conditions on Nass. Valley
roads caused by heavy rains prevented
hydro crews from getting to Noname
Creek early on, Qwen said.

Members of the New Aiyansh viilage
council came down-to. Terrace last week

to purchase supplies ‘for both Greenville. .

and Kincolith residents.
The outage spoiled food in freezers

and in refrigerators, said Kincolith chief.

councillor Nelson Clayton.

“We have people going door to door
surveying the losses. We lost a lot of
food,” he said. A village council-owned
hoat was making trips south from Kinco-
lith to’ Prince Rupert to bring back sup-
plies, Clayton. added.

“We wanted to make sure there were
items such as milk and diapers on hand,”
he said.
Kineolith has suffered power oulages
over the years dwing to bad weather con-
ditions affecting the line bringing clec-
iricity to the village at the mouth of the
Nass River.

But B.C. Hydro is now in the middle of

‘a program to move the line down closer

to the new road which now connects Kin-
colith to Greenville, said Owen.

“Before we had trouble seeing where
the problem was and ihen getting to it,”
he said, adding the repair work was dan-
gerous and complicated,

When the line moving project is fin-
ished, it will be much easier to bring in
equipment such as. Pugkeh trucks to. makg,
