Power Line Goes Down in Southside Community

When a power line went down in the Southside community of Montgomery County, it took men in a boat to make the repair. CEMC officials estimate that the line was snagged by a large log floating by, cutting power to nearby homes. These Clarksville District employees - from left Greg Meek, Ronald Crockett and Shawn Butler - used Crockett's fishing boat to make the repair and restore service on Wednesday. "We didn't want to make anybody wait for the water to go back down before we restored their service, because that could take days," said J.D. Bumpus, district operations supervisor.
