From OPALCO
On September 20th at 9:30 a.m., our Co-op’s Journeyman Lineman Kevin Zoerb was working on the south end of Lopez Island when he came in contact with a high voltage line. He was airlifted to Harborview and admitted to the burn unit in critical condition.
The OPALCO family sends its love, hope and prayers to Kevin, his family and community.
