This situation in Valier is this - The Valier Substation (which is on the Williams road) the transformer in that sob [not the usual meaning of S.O.B.!] burned up.
It is a major type transformer that utilities do not carry in inventory. Causing equipment poles and special type wire to be destroyed. We are working on the sub, and we flew down to the manufacturer for the transformer.
The sub is being rebuilt but will take time to get everything in from manufacturers. In the mean time we have had to bring power from The Conrad sub. This is causing you to feel any problem they may have and the three-phase line that crosses from Conrad to Valier is subject to weather and various problems that it is not normally required to do.
We ask that if you see a brown out situation to turn equipment off and get protection devises on any sensitive equipment that may require protection.
If you have a claim - please document it the time and what happened along with what was damaged and turn the claim in to:
Bob Vinson
PO box 589
Great Falls, MT 59403.
This situation will take us some time to get completed - probably the first week in November.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this is causing, but we are working everyday to get it corrected.
If you have any questions give me a call at 454-7169. Thank You Scott Patera
