North End Behind plating Plant
This section of our plant was in the process of being
remodeled and these heavy 13,000 V, High Voltage
distribution transformers were temporarily turned off.
While they were de-energized some thieves cut the transformers loose and
started to dismantle
the copper which of course destroys the transformer.
Out of 12 transformers, all were severely damaged, 7 destroyed
beyond repair .
The heavy copper wire that makes the transformer perform is
now mostly gone .
All heavy copper leads to and from the transformers were cut and stolen.
Main lines going up over the roof to high tension poles from the high
voltage side were stolen also.
