Power Grid Change for Glenada Hill
There may be a slight disruption to you radio and television entertainment next week. Upgrades are being done to the tower sight on Glenada hill that could cause a disruption in viewing or listening. Central Lincoln PUD is planning on moving their power to the site from above ground to below ground on Thursday of next week. The change comes to help shore up power in times of high winds and winter storms. The tower site is equipped with emergency power in the form of generators which will be in service during the changeover. However, the notice comes in case of unknown challenges that may arise. CLPUD is expecting to complete the switch by 4pm on Thursday.
