Power Line Inspections to Begin Next Week

JCP&L to evaluate where maintenance is needed on overhead transmission lines.

Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) will begin inspections on all overhead transmission lines on Sept. 24.

Inspections are expected to last until Oct. 2, depending on weather.

The inspections are part of the company's $200 million program to meet the increased demands of electricity and increase reliability in 2012. During the inspections, helicopters may be seen hovering near transmission lines and substations.
