On May 5th, GRICUA kicked off the Sacaton Peak overhead power line reconstruction project. The new line will replace the original power line that was built in the late 1930s. This project is a joint effort between GRICUA & GRTI that will provide improved electric service reliability to telecommunications tenants and will also carry GRTI fiber optic service to the site. A helicopter is being used to lift workers and material to work sites. This reduces the environmental impact on the mountain terrain and allows for the work to be complete in the 6 week project time frame. The 1st phase of the project is expected to be complete June 13th. The 2nd phase of the project will include work at the actual communications site on the mountain top.
