Power goes out
again and again
After last month's raging wind-
storm and resulting widespread
power outages, followed by sever-
al days of very cold temperatures,
three electrical outages last Fri-
day and Saturday in and around
She]ton affected nearly 13,500
customers.
An outage Saturday began at
4:20 p.m. when PUD 3's Moun-
tain View substation went off line,
which resulted in two other sub-
stations also losing their power.
An estimated 7,300 customers of
the Shelton utility lost their elec-
tricity. By 5:40 p.m. Saturday,
all customers had their power re-
stored, the utility reported.
And on Friday night, 2,500
PUD 3 customers lost power for
a time due to debris and felled
trees caused by winds.
PUD 1 reported an outage at 1
a.m. Saturday that affected three
substations and about 3,500 cus-
tomers. Power was restored to all
affected customers by 5 p.m. that
day, said Tracy Collard, the Pot-
latch-based utility's director of
operations.
The loss of power Saturday
opened breakers at the Shelton
utility's Mason substation in
downtown Shelton and its Johns
Prairie substation northeast of
the city. The cause of the outage
has yet to be determined. It was
not known if the incident was re-
lated to Friday night's storm that
blew through Mason County with
wind gusts of more than 50 miles
per hour.
PUD 3 ENGINEERS restored
power to affected areas by bypass-
ing the Mountain View substation
on K Street and picking up the
load on the Mason, Johns Prairie
and Dayton substations. The util-
ity system is designed to allow for
redundant feeds between substa-
tions to restore electricity more
quickly during outages or to al-
low for substation maintenance.
The Johns Prairie substation
was completed recently and PUD
3 has been working to shift new
loads onto it for the past several
weeks. The utility was able to re-
route the extra loads from areas
normally served by the Mountain
View substation to the one at
Johns Prairie.
Substations convert high-volt-
age power from the Bonneville
Power Administration to a volt-
age that can be safely distributed
to transformers that feed elec-
tricity to homes and businesses
throughout the PUD 3 service
area.
Specific areas affected by Sat-
urday afternoon's substation in-
cident included Springs Road,
