Resident raises concern about induced‑voltage and alleged shocks at Dinwiddie Sports Complex
Summary
A resident told the board he believes induced voltage from nearby transmission lines is causing shocks at the Dinwiddie Sports Complex and said he has an OSHA report that documents a severe electrocution; he urged county action and said he has sought documentation from the utility.
At citizen comments a resident urged the board to investigate alleged induced‑voltage incidents at the Dinwiddie Sports Complex, saying he had reviewed an OSHA report that described an electrician hospitalized after an induced‑voltage incident and that Dominion had not provided documentation he requested.
The speaker asked whether the county had been informed during the original installation of transmission infrastructure and urged the board to treat the issue seriously. Board members acknowledged the comment and thanked residents for raising the concern; staff did not announce an immediate action at the meeting but the comment was entered into the record for follow‑up.
