He lost power to the house back in the middle of the summer last year and determined that the problem was somewhere between his house and the power pole. He started digging up the line and got all the way to the middle of the street where he found the dirt he was digging up was still warm. (power had been off several hours by that time) The power junction in the middle of the street was where the fault was found. In his case he found that he was responsible for all the circuit all the way back to the distribution pole and had to bite the bullet and pay for a new line installation. I know that in my case in North Texas, the power company is responsible for the line all the way to my meter box, but in his case, this was not so. 73 - Jim W5ZIT
