A crew of 10 Grays Harbor County Public Utility District operations staff, two service trucks and two dispatchers spent over seven hours on Sunday in East Grays Harbor County replacing a heavily-used transmission and distribution pole after a vehicle crashed into it, disrupting service to 1,600 customers.
“The pole is a key part of the energy network providing electricity to the City of Oakville and the surrounding area, and suffered serious damage during a car vs. pole collision on Sunday morning,” wrote Grays Harbor County PUD in a Facebook post.
After over seven hours of work, crews were able to restore power to the affected area.
