·         Anderson – 13

·         Pickens – 2,210

 

An extra 230 linemen and other workers from outside the area are now assisting Blue Ridge with repairs.  More than 20 broken poles have been discovered, which will increase the time needed to make repairs on those particular sections of power line.
