STRAY VOLTAGE UPDATE.

It’s always a pleasure when readers make use of our search function and look over past articles. For example, Blair Sorrel, the founder ofstreetzaps.com, recently wrote in to praise us for a 2007 piece on stray voltage and its effects on both people and dogs. She wanted to point out that dog booties can actually be more of a hazard than a form of protection if they become waterlogged; Blair has met with ConEdison’s Stray Voltage unit and was the first non-electrical representative to be invited to the Jodie Lane National Conference, so we think she knows what she’s talking about. New York City has over 94,000 miles of electrical cable pulsing beneath the surface, so take a look at her siteand get informed.
