SUMMARY OF DUKE ENERGY POWER OUTAGES MEETING
Duke Energy would like to thank you for the opportunity to listen to your concerns and share our ongoing reliability efforts with residents on Tuesday, January 24 in the public meeting sponsored by the City of Wyoming.
This is a summary of efforts Duke Energy is taking to improve electric reliability on the Finneytown 42 circuit which covers the area most impacted by outages on the Westside of Wyoming on “the hill” (covering streets such as Fleming, Ritchie, Liddle Lane, etc). Please note there are additional circuits serving Wyoming which are being assessed by Duke Energy engineers as well. Information on the remaining circuits will be shared as soon as a thorough analysis is complete.
The “transformer retrofit program” is part of the Duke Energy reliability and integrity initiative to improve overall system reliability and to minimize the number of customers impacted by an outage. Work completed on the Finneytown 42 Circuit includes the following:
- Installation of 427 new “cutout” fuse devices
- Upgraded 344 lighting arrestors – used to help mitigate equipment lighting strikes
- Installation of 695 animal guards –Hampering the ability of squirrels and other animals from inadvertently causing outages on transformers
This work started in September, 2011 and was completed in late December 2011.

POLICE DEPARTMENT NEWS
Last night at approximately 9:30 p.m., Wyoming Police Officers responded to Sweetwater Drive to investigate a reported burglary. Officers arrived at the scene within minutes of the call. The complainant reported that she heard a loud crashing sound then observed an unknown white female on the first floor. Upon seeing the resident the suspect ran from the house and climbed into a maroon colored pickup truck which subsequently fled the area. The resident then immediately contacted the Wyoming Police Department. Upon the officers arrival the truck had already fled the area. Entry appears to have been gained through a rear door. No other details are available at this time. As a reminder please call the Wyoming Police Department immediately if you see any suspicious activity.
