California 95734 Al (916) 587-3896 December 30, 1982 Mr. Allan Walker, Editor Sierra Sun P. O. Box 2973 Truckee, California 95734 Dear Mr. Walker: Truckee residents will not soon forget the Christmas storms and power outages of 1982. One of the worst storms in recent history swept into the Truckee/Donner Lake area on Monday night, December 20th leaving in its wake tens of thousands of dollars in damage to the Truckee Donner Public Utility District's electrical distribution system while putting 90% of the PUD's customers in darkness. Some power was restored within 24 to 48 hours; however, many in the Donner Lake and Tahoe Donner areas, as well as some other isolated pockets throughout the District, were left without power for over a week. Power poles and trees were snapped like matchsticks. Electric lines fell under the weight of the snow ripping off crossarms and insulators. House- hold services were torn from buildings. Live wires were down everywhere. Damage was extensive and widespread. Crews from the PUD aided by men and equipment from Harker & Harker electri- cal firm out of Reno worked long and hard hours throughout the Christmas weekend and into the following week. District staff manned the telephones, collected information, and coordinated work crews. Information, as sketchy as it was, was given to concerned customers. Throughout the District as time went on, tension and frustration mounted. Tempers grew short. District staff looked at the telephones and hoped they would stop ringing. Yet, faced with this major emergency, the TDPUD line crews and support personnel saw the challenge of the situation and met it admirably_ Outdoor crews working in adverse weather conditions and under dangerous circumstances put in long hours in an effort to restore s! s� C Mr. Allan Walker, Editor Page Two December 30, 1982 power to the largest numbers of people as rapidly as possible. As President and on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank and commend each one of the PUD employees for their dedication to the District and to the community of Truckee_ While the vast majority of the community accepted the situation as a fact of mountain life and made the best of it, a few did not. Winter life in Truckee is not easy. Granted, a week without power is not fun. However, one cannot expect to move here from Sacramento, the Bay Area, Los Angeles or any other mild climate and expect the lifestyle to be the same. Household contingencies should be made. Do you have enough food in your home to last a few weeks, should you be snowed in? Do you have candles, flashlights, batteries and lanterns in case of power failure? Do you have auxiliary heat and cooking in case of power outages if you live in an all electric home? Is your home winterized and are you prepared for that blizzard? Does your car have at least a half-tank of gasoline, should a power failure close local gas stations? Can we all say that we are really prepared for the next storm? I, for one, have re-examined and augmented my own household contingencies. Will you? �eAassf the Board Truckee Donner Public Utility District cc: Board of Directors James M. Ward, General Manager It i i r e
