My impression is that you'll be undergrounded if the route between your meter and the street isn't obstructed. I'm less concerned about that, however, because I can prune the the limbs of my trees away from my overhead line. It's what's going on along the street that continues to cause all the trouble.

They were very vague about what will be done between the curb and the meter and I heard some (all?) people won't get it all underground (old lines to the property would not be buried). Also, seems like the cable providers are not joining this project, which means not all wires will be buried. I would sign up with a cable provider who joins this project so we can get rid of all overhead lines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-72276240174281517242015-03-21T13:10:30.558-04:002015-03-21T13:10:30.558-04:00"if one homeowner doesn’t sign an easement ag..."if one homeowner doesn’t sign an easement agreement, that street will not have its power lines buried...."<br /><br />At the March 11 meeting held at Belvedere School, the Dominion reps suggested that there may be some ways to work around residents who opt not to bury their lines. They weren't specific, but someone made a reference to using other existing easements. <br /><br />There was no discussion about homeowners having to pay for some of the work. I suspect this may refer to dealing with obstacles encountered in "undergrounding" power lines that connect to individual meters. So, I recommend homeowners consider that issue carefully before signing their easements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
