BTU is conducting the inspections as part of its preventive maintenance program to improve electrical reliability throughout the area.

As previously reported by Community Impact, BTU has been continuously working on the city of Bryan's electrical systems over the last few months, including the power lines on Briarcrest in August.

According to the news release, the inspections are expected to last from Sept. 21-29. All of the inspections are routine and BTU said no service interruptions are expected.
