NYSEG will be inspecting its high-voltage power lines in the area, but the check-ups will be performed in a different fashion than most. The company announced that throughout this week, they will be using low-flying helicopters to inspect the lines. Inspections will be taking place in Tioga County, along with portions of Tompkins, Schuyler, Seneca, and Cayuga counties. If the weather proves to be too dangerous to fly in, the work will be delayed. Officials at NYSEG say that the helicopter provide for a great vantage point during the work, and allow for faster and more efficient inspections of the high voltage lines.
