Tacoma Power Crew Gets Kudos for Creative Mossyrock Dam Solution (KELA Radio, Centralia, WA)

(MOSSYROCK, WA) -- How do you get the moss off the face of the Mossyrock dam?  Tacoma Power employees have dangled below in a bucket to power wash the face of the state’s tallest dam.  It’s more than 600 feet tall.   Now, two employees at the Cowlitz River Project have come up with a remote-controlled pressure washer. It does the trick with someone needing to hang over the front of the dam.   Tacoma Power needs to remove the moss at some of its dams every three to five years so federal inspectors can do safety inspections.  Watch Tacoma Power’s video on the project here.
