Vandals Hit BPA Site
LAKEVIEW, OR -- The Bonneville Power Administration says vandals shot out insulators, damaged access road gates and locks, and dumped trash on a BPA right-of-way near Lakeside. Spokeswoman Katie Pruder said a total of 18 insulators were shot out in February, April and June, resulting in $40,000 in damage. Pruder added that insulators keep electricity from jumping to the ground in a dangerous short circuit and when they're damaged, it creates an immediate danger to anyone near a transmission tower.
BPA is now offering rewards for information on the vandalism.
