LEWES, Del. (AP) - Delmarva Power says a helicopter will be inspecting transmission lines over the next few weeks.

WXDE-FM is reporting that the helicopter will fly low over the Delmarva Power transmission system to inspect and document items that may require attention.

Delmarva spokesman Matt Likovich says the helicopter could be spotted inspecting lines in Rehoboth, Cool Spring, Indian River, Seaford, Harrington, Felton and Cheswold over the next few weeks. He says many residents may have already spotted the chopper in the Lewes area on Friday.
