Two Outages In Western Klickitat County

There were a pair of power outages on Saturday in western Klickitat County.  Klickitat PUD says the first occurred in the morning when the Bonneville Power Administration had a line fault on the transmission line from Bonneville Dam to their Bald Mountain substation just south of Husum.  That transmission line feeds the Bingen, White Salmon, Snowden, Husum, Trout Lake and Glenwood areas.  BPA operators took action and restored power in about 30 minutes.  Then on Saturday night, Skamania PUD requested that BPA take an outage on the same transmission line between Bonneville Dam and Bald Mountain substation because Skamania PUD had a switch that was arcing at the North Bonneville Annex, which is the first tap off the line.  That led to a second outage for that line lasting for about two hours.
