FAQs

What if I cannot attend the public meeting?

The materials at the information session will be uploaded to this webpage on August 1, 2024. If you have additional comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out so we can better address.

Why not construct underground lines?

There are a few reasons why underground lines are not being considered for this project. Underground lines can be more intrusive to the environment, depending on where they’re placed, and it’s more intrusive to the environment when they need to be repaired. Underground lines typically cost more than the amount overhead lines cost, and they would take a much longer period of time to repair when there is an issue.
