Monthly Activity Report
Electric Department crews worked on the following projects during the month of December:
The service crew installed 16 new overhead and 12 new underground electrical services and
responded to 36 requests for underground facility locates (USA’s).
Crews continued to replace or add additional transformers to transformers that were overloaded
because of new construction and growth.
The District’s meter technician/electrician continued working on the commercial meter audit
program.
The District’s electricians continued working with the water department at numerous water
department facilities.
The line crew and electricians upgraded the facilities at the water department’s Soma station.
This involved removing the overhead transformers, installing new secondary conductors, and
installing a new padmounted transformer. Additionally, crews installed a switch and facilities at
the railroad crossing on Bridge Street. This switch will enable the District to tie Truckee
substation circuitry to Martis substation circuitry. The line crew also began work on the Sierra
Village apartment complex development. Work commenced on this project during the middle of
December and will be completed during January.
Department staff continued working with the GIS coordinator in mapping and gathering
information for input into the GIS system.

spring of 2001.
