Low-flying helicopters to inspect TECO power lines around Tampa Bay

 
Published Dec. 1, 2015

Low-flying helicopters will buzz around parts of the Tampa Bay area over the next week, but Tampa Electric says they're no cause for concern.

Workers are checking on the power company's high-voltage transmission lines by hovering above them with infrared cameras.

The maintenance work was scheduled to begin Tuesday in Polk County, and TECO says crews plan to work in Dade City, Riverview, Ruskin and Tampa over the next week.
