Demonstration Highlights Power Service Strain in Brook
Brook residents face planned uneven service as a demonstration exposes how half the time the town would lose power. A fuse blew outside Bossing and Merchants, plunging the business district into darkness for over an hour while Kentland and Goodland crews failed to restore the line. The marshal enlisted Ian Biddle to replace the fuse and rig a temporary fix, amid ongoing cost concerns and delayed repairs. A push to install new poles this week aims to ease the outages and remove the old loaned lines, though officials vow further economy measures.
