Power has been restored after two days. The problem was a small tree that fell on the lines. It was not enough force to pull the wires down, but it caused several wires to get 'close enough', that they 'shorted out'.
So there is only ONE hydro line that serves the ELCA. It runs from the Elephant Lake Lodge area, to the small island to the south, then the line continues to our main island, west side (JJ property). Then the lines run to the remainder of the cottages.
Hydro has a green, ground level transformer at Boston's, with a large coil of cable that comes from the lake. It is not in operation and the hydro people say it is for use in the future. Apparently it gives the cables time to settle into the lake before hook up to transformer. Probably a replacement. But, there has been a suggestion that the Nudist Colony at the north end of Clarke Rd may need power. Unknown at this time.
Half load restrictions on the roads now in effect. Early start this year.
