The work, scheduled to begin about 7 a.m. Monday, is expected to be completed by 7 p.m. that day, the VEA said.
A helicopter on Monday plans to fly over all of the 230-kilovolt lines in Valley Electric Association territory as part of a routine inspection/maintenance process for GridLiance West.
The VEA made the announcement Wednesday in a Facebook post.
“The purpose of this post is to notify VEA members who live near the high-transmission lines and who might be concerned by the helicopter flying close to the lines,” the utility said.
The work, scheduled to begin about 7 a.m. Monday, is expected to be completed by 7 p.m. that day, the VEA said.
Country Line Builders will fly the helicopter, the VEA said.
