Fun Fact of the Day | What do you think caused the MOST power outages over the past year?
According to GreyStone System Control Supervisor Kirby Southerland, "Approximately 11% of our total outage times were due to animals. Squirrels were by far the most common culprits, with birds coming in second." |
