Manitoba Hydro is now putting a 8 ft metal U chanel over the lower part of the repaired lines instead of the normal wood molding.


Its only been about 3 years since I entered this post and the lines that have been repaired are missing again. It looks like they used a bar/screwdriver to pry off the clamps holding the prodtective u chanel and took it as well. About 1 and 1/2 blocks worth of transformers (5) have had their grounds stollen.
