Guam Power Authority advises the public that in order to allow for our Snohomish PUD Washington crew to make repairs on the 115kV Transmission line, certain distribution feeder line needs to be secured. This line which feeds power to customers in the villages of Dededo, Harmon, and Tamuning will be interrupted, the outage could be from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. tomorrow.
The transmission lines vital to the stabilization of the IWPS sustained widespread damage from Typhoon Mawar. As island power is restored to the community, the repairs to the transmission lines become increasingly critical. The crews will be working along the southbound lane on Route 1 and Route 16 from the Harmon Substation towards the airport overpass. They will also be working on the off ramp towards Dededo.
