To improve system reliability, Hawaiian Electric will conduct quarterly aerial inspections of its major overhead transmission lines next week from Monday, April 10, to Friday, April 14.

The islandwide inspections are scheduled from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. However, exact times and routes will depend on weather conditions.

Inspections will be conducted in a Manuiwa Airways helicopter and require the aircraft to fly low and slow, which may cause some noise disturbances.

Hawaiian Electric thanks the community for their patience and understanding.
