Missouri River
Flooding in Service Territory Forces FEC to Pull Some Meters Farmers' Electric crews removed approximately 40 meters in early July when the Missouri River broke through several levees on the south end of the cooperative's service territory. Crews were prepared to remove over 300additional meters, but floodwaters began to recede in the third week of July. The meters that were removed primarily were those that served barns and sheds in isolated areas. "We removed the meters to protect equipment in the event of a flood," explained Troy Hermanson, Operations Manager at FEC. "In this way, we could de-energize some lines that were non-essential and still provide power to other meters in that area." |
