By KEVAN MOORE A break-in Wednesday, Aug. 3, at a Mason County PUD 3 substation on the Tahuya Peninsula west of Belfair resulted in the theft of copper and cable connec- tors from the high-voltage transformer and distribu- tion equipment. The theft remains under investigation by the Mason County Sheriffs Office. PUD 3 personnel discov- ered the damage during a routine maintenance visit late Thursday afternoon. "This is an extremely bra- zen and dangerous crime," said Bob Smith, PIED 3 op- erations manager. "Not only were the suspects putting themselves in extreme dan- ger, but when a substation's grounding system is dam- aged it can present a danger to the public near the facil- ity and PUT) workers who may need to enter the area to conduct maintenance work." Besides safety concerns, the cost to replace the cable can be expensive. In this in- cident alone, PUD officials estimate that the response to the theft and the cable replacement may cost PUD customers nearly $10,000. The cost of material stolen has been estimated at $200.
