working on making call left. They're requesting an additional pole number for that pole on Promontory Street. If you have one. I can't get onto that property. We've been trying to access that property, but we can't get over there. So, it's going to be one pole south from the pole number I gave you, if you can relay that information.

Those transformers are pretty old and corroded so no surprise. I remember when we were having another heat wave and the same thing happened to our pole on PB drive. SDG&E just waits for them to blow before they replace them. Sorry for everyone losing their fans and A/C
