Utility line crews pass along help

Arkansas-Ole Miss Live Blog

CLEVELAND, Tenn. – For local utility line crews, one good turn deserves another.

Dozens of electric line crews from across Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky and Florida came here after the April 27 tornadoes and storms. They worked alongside Cleveland Utilities linemen to restore electric power to all customers within 10 days.

In June, Cleveland Utilities’ line crews were able to pass along the good deed to others.

Nine linemen and four trucks were dispatched June 19 to North Georgia after a severe storm, said Dennis Daniel, Cleveland Utilities Electric Division manager.

Six linemen and three trucks were sent to Chattanooga to lend a hand later in the month.
