OK!I gonna bet that the power company doesn't bother to remove
Here's my 2¢. In Southern Calif. Edison country they have a truck
with a supply of
water, pump, and nozzle (much like a fire truck) to wash the
insulators. After watching
one in action, I asked the operator if it was to wash off the
conductive "road film?" His
answer was, of course, yes, and more important the salt film. This
was at the foggy
coastal community of Isla Vista next to UCSB. BTW one can hear a
continuous discharge on
foggy nights.
I suggest that the pwr. co. in Price UT invest in such a truck, or
better, since not a
frequent occurrence, rent the local fire dept.'s.
