Narrative

A severe storm caused damage to a transmission line resulting in a disruption of power to our facilities which caused us to lose power to our hoists. The power was restored within 20 minutes but the disruption caused a disconnect switch in the power that feeds the Coeur hoist to open and it took almost an additional hour for the Avista Utility crew to restore power to the Coeur.
