Estimated Dates & Work Schedule

Anticipated Start Date: 2013-12-30
Anticipated End Date: 2014-04-30

This project has been completed. Below is the information that was provided to customers prior to the project start date.

Roads Affected

Emerson Street

Project Objective

The primary objective for this project is to substantially reduce electric service outages experienced by our customers. When the new cables are installed, they will be placed in protective jackets called conduit, a plastic pipe designed to shelter underground cables. Once installed, the conduits will also provide for a more simple and efficient method for cable replacement in the future.

Construction Areas

The contractor will be working in the city rights of way and easements.

Construction Conditions

The conduit will be installed with a trenchless technology called horizontal directional drilling. This method significantly reduces project construction time with minimal disruption to landscaping, sidewalks, and driveways.

Planned Power Outages

Customers will be without power for approximately 1-3 hours while the new lines are switched over. The contractor will notify residents 48 hours prior to any planned outages. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Restoration of the Project Area

Upon completion of the project, any existing grass, curb, gutter, driveway, or sidewalk disturbed during construction will be returned to its pre-construction condition.
