When the new switch is purchased we can schedule an outage to replace it. On another note, I gave your question about whether the testing of the cable should have identified the fault some additional thought and I believe it should have if it was there at that time. There is a possibility that the fault in the cable developed after the test. For example, I wanted them to energize the cable for 24 hours before adding load and that wasn't done. I am also investigating if the switch without gas could have caused it. With all that said, the testing of the cable should have found the fault if it was there at that time.

They will get the material and complete the repairs. Once complete, I will go back over and energize the transformer back to WAPA's grid.

They attempted to pump the water out of the manhole this morning but it was filled with mud and sludge. A sewage truck is to go over and clear the manhole this afternoon. Tomorrow morning Denny's guys will go back and see what needs to be done to repair/replace the splice. That is when I will find out if we have enough slack in the cable or if additional cable is needed. >>>>>> Most importantly, the switch is in desperate need of replacement.
