We are upgrading underground cables with new ones that have improved technology and better protection from the elements. We’ll use tubing or conduit to protect the wires. Older underground cables without conduit are more susceptible to outages and power quality problems.

在60年代末, utilities across the country began putting power lines underground instead of overhead. 在20世纪90年代, 塑料, PVC and other materials became more advanced, improving conduits that hold underground wires and making them easier to use. Conduit surrounds the wire and protects it from corrosive soil, rocks, 树根和其他地下危险.

No. 建设 costs, like this project, are covered through energy rates.
