stallation of a ground wire by
electric cooperatives. Aguilar
said the commission can make
utility companies maintain their
system
"I cannot find anything in the
code that says they have to have
it (ground wire)," said Aguilar
but we do expect them (utility
companies) to maintain their
lines efficiently "
Aguilar did say that a ground
line being down or missing could
reflect possible mismanagement
and that the PUC "could make
them go fix it "
An REA spokesman said the
federal organization is only a
vehicle for provision of funding
to rural electric cooperatives
and as such must ensure proper
business practice from the stand
point of finances. But the REA
has no other regulatory powers
in regard to design, installation
or maintenance of the system.
Kimmey noted that a ground
wire is desired but not crucial "
to the system He added that
such lines often operate suc-
cessfully for years with no
problems especially during dry
weather conditions.

missing ground wire which
Bowen says he believes has
been down at least seven-to-
eight years.
Kimmey said Friday that he
has no knowledge how long the
ground wire has been missing
but that such was the case when
his crews found the cause of the
power failure
Kimmey said however that
presence of a ground wire would
not necessarily have been total
assurance against such an ac
cident occurring
He said while the ground wire
on overhead lines in rural co op
systems is an important safety
factor in fire and electrocution
accident prevention and from a
systems operation standpoint
they are not fail safe
