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.
