Board approves Interstate Power & Light request to place power line underground near Lakota
Summary
Supervisors approved a utility request to relocate portions of power line underground near the intersection of Highways 169 and 9; motion carried unanimously.
The Kossuth County Board of Supervisors approved a request from Interstate Power & Light Company (IPL) to place portions of a power line underground near Lakota as part of a larger project at the Highway 169/9 intersection.
A county staff speaker described the utility’s project, saying IPL plans to move some power from overhead to underground along a county road (County Route 190). The board was asked to grant the county portion of the permitting or encroachment required for the work; staff recommended approval.
Supervisor Haas moved to approve the request and Supervisor Garvin seconded. The board voted by voice to carry the motion.
County staff noted IPL’s project extends beyond the county right-of-way; where the state has jurisdiction the state will address that portion of the work. No specific construction timetable or cost allocation to the county was recorded in the discussion.
