Two feeders supply Chetwynd Willow Flats Lone Prairie East Pine while a mid October completion enables feeder switching during outages. Crews from Prince George Line Construction Dept lay underground cable in Carmello Subdivision and a power efficiency drive will evaluate lighting in some Chetwynd businesses to promote energy conservation.

Cablevision Steps Toward Reality in Chetwynd Plans
The Chamber of Commerce TV Committee met with MP Frank Oberle on August 31 to map plans for a satellite earth station. Oberle outlined CRTC licensing rules and said an application should wait until system details are set. Hearings in Prince George on November 6 could lead to a spring 1980 licence and a potential 1981 start. If a cablevision licence is granted, an earth station licence becomes less likely. The committee reconsidered a four channel earth station project costing about $125,000 amid these developments.
