WOODSTOCK COMPLETES
NEW POWER LINE TO
4 SIDNEY CROSSROADS
Woodstock Electric Membership
Corporation has recently completed
a new six-mile line from the Pan
tego substation to Sidney Cross
Roads byway of Pantego Creek,
and Pungo Creek. The new line
takes a much more direct path to
the service area than did the old
line.
Better and more reliable service
is the* main purpose of the new
line, Woodstock officials said. In
times of hurricanes or other trou
bles, the new line provides a two
way feed to the Sidney area.
As each person and each family
increased their use of electricity,
the demand on the old line ap
proach point where it wouldn’t be
able to supply this demand, it was
stated. With much larger wires,
the new line is able to supply a
much greater demand for electrici
ty in the future. The lines were
designed and built so that when
needed it will serve as a 25,000-
volt transmission and distribution
line. At that time a substation will
be built at Sidney. to reduce the
incoming voltage for Woodstock’s
distribution lines.
In order to cross both Pantego
and Pungo Creeks it was necessary
to have 4 land structures and 4
water structures to span the more
than 3000 feet of water. Each
structure is a double pole design
and the water structures are 65
feet above the. surface of the water.
The new line to Sidney area is
the third in a recent series of ma
jor system improvement jobs. The
previous two projects were the in
creasing of wire sizes and addition
of a circuit on the line from Five
Points substation to Braddy Road
and the addition of an extra line
from Pantego to Pike Road.
More rural power for greatest
rural progress is the aim of all
these projects.

bership Corporation held its annual
