Hawaiian Electric to conduct aerial line inspections

Hawaiian Electric will conduct quarterly aerial inspections of its major overhead transmission lines starting Monday, Nov. 16, and continuing through Nov. 19.

The islandwide inspections, which the utility said improve system reliability, 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.

Those with questions or concerns should call Hawaiian Electric at 969-6666.
