FALL, 2018 ADDITIONAL TRIPS FOR ELECTRIC CO-OP

During the fall of 2018, Mockingbird made several trips carrying people and supplies to Plum Island in connection with the laying and hook-up of the new cable furnishing electric power to the Island. When the new cable is activated, the old cable will remain in place and available should there be an outage with the new installation.

In addition, laying the new cable across Plum Island provides an electrical power source for Plum. Although there was electric power on Plum Island years ago, that was discontinued when the Coast Guard abandoned the station.
