FPB electric crew to assist with cleanup efforts in Mayfield

/

The Frankfort Plant Board has sent an electric crew to Mayfield, Ky. to assist in cleanup efforts as a result of the deadly tornado that plowed through west Kentucky Dec. 10.

An FPB crew of seven electric linemen will focus on ground cleanup, which includes removal of electrical lines, poles, transformers, trees, cutting wire from trees, etc. The crew took one digger derrick truck, one bucket truck, a one-ton dump truck, a tag-along trailer and a pickup truck. They left from the FPB Service Center Saturday, Jan. 1 around noon and expect to be onsite later tonight.

It is not yet clear how long FPB’s services will be needed. The crew will adjust as necessary and change out employees if the work is extended more than a week or two.

The Frankfort Plant Board is part of a mutual aid network through the Kentucky Municipal Utilities Association (KMUA). KMUA coordinates with the American Public Power Association who organizes crews from the 2,000+ municipal utilities members to send to areas in need. This network makes resources rapidly available during a disaster and ensures that power is restored to those in need as quickly as possible while keeping outside entities from price gouging for labor and materials.

*** WATER BOIL ADVISORY / KIMBERLY DR. & LEE DR.***

/

The Water Department of the Frankfort Plant Board advises to boil the water before drinking or using it for cooking. The advisory is in effect for the following area:

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

·    114 To 126 Kimberly Dr.

 

·    102 Lee Dr.

 

 

 

A vigorous boil for at least two minutes is recommended. This Boil Water Advisory is a precautionary measure due to a loss of pressure in the water main caused by Plant Board crews repairing a water main break.

This Advisory will remain in effect until lab analysis of water samples taken confirms that the potable water supply in the affected area is safe to drink. You will receive a notice when the advisory is lifted.

 

If you have any questions concerning the Boil Water Advisory, please call 352-4372.
