Summary
The Select Board approved Eversource Energy’s petition to install approximately 11 feet of conduit from a pole on Morningside Road to 122 Birds Hill Avenue to serve a new home; the board recorded a motion and signed the grant of location.
The Needham Select Board approved a petition from Eversource Energy on Aug. 12 to install about 11 feet of conduit from Pole 234/1 on Morningside Road to private property at 122 Birds Hill Avenue to provide electric service to a new home.
Why it matters: A grant of location authorizes a utility to place conduit or wires in the public right-of-way to serve a private property. The board held a public hearing with Eversource participation via Zoom and asked whether any members of the public wished to comment.
Proceedings and vote: Eversource representative Joanne Callender described the 11-foot conduit run and confirmed the work is to provide service to a new residence at 122 Birds Hill Avenue. The town manager and Town Engineer confirmed the application was in order. There were no public objections. A board member moved to approve the petition, a second was recorded, and the motion carried. The board then signed the petition.
Ending: Staff noted a suggestion from a board member to include developer name on future grant-of-location cover pages; Town Engineer Tom Ryder said staff would consider adding that information to the paperwork.
