Well, after talking to the tower crew, our MFPA members, Pat Pizzo, Vince Piazzisi, and Larry Sasscer, have the following explanations:
They are in the process of applying tension to the lines in order to raise them. In order to do this, they have to beef-up the tower structure with load-bearing struts and then replace the existing ceramic insulators with more heavy-duty ones than the ones that were already there.
Larry and member Pier Maggiani both talked to the Contractor and were told that after they have the new equipment installed and the lines tightened up, they may gain an additional 5 ft to 10 ft of clearance from the ground. Always a good thing when it comes to saving our park trees under the power lines.
Vince talked to one of the crew members about the work on the tower just across the street from his house. He had noticed them installing wheels on the lines. After asking about the wheels he was told this was to facilitate the tightening of the power line to take out slack.
