Bullhead City, AZ – A commercial semi-truck carrying a manufactured home tore down a power line and electric pole causing an outage at 8:25 am Thursday morning, April 7, for 113 Mohave Electric Cooperative members.
The outage was isolated to the Golden Shores area. Line crews cleared debris, followed switching procedures to restore power to all members at 12:50 pm. Pole replacement will be done at a future date.
"Outage restoration is very important to Mohave Electric Cooperative, and we make every effort to restore power quickly and safely as possible. It is important to also treat all down lines as if they are energized and stay away from them," stated Jerry Hardy, manager of engineering and operations.
