PG&E says Oro Dam gas-line testing delayed; paving to begin around Sept. 7; Tesla chargers planned near Toyota dealership
Summary
A PG&E representative told the council that hydrostatic pressure testing on gas lines around Oro Dam/Highway 162 began in mid-May and that paving is now expected to begin about Sept. 7. PG&E also said it will provide infrastructure for three Tesla chargers near the Toyota dealership.
Brenda Narayan, PG&E's government affairs representative, briefed the Oroville City Council on Aug. 5 about multiple utility projects affecting city streets.
"Paving is going to begin, around September 7 and and run for about 10 days," Narayan said, describing a hydrostatic pressure-testing project on gas lines along Oro Dam/Highway 162 that started in mid-May and was delayed due to weather and soil-testing issues.
Narayan described a second gas-related project starting in September that will affect a street between Myers and Fallbrook and said work there would last about two to three weeks and impact two corners on D Street. She also said PG&E is working with Tesla to install three chargers across from the Toyota dealership; PG&E will "stub in" using existing infrastructure to serve that installation.
Narayan said she has been communicating project details by email and offered to answer follow-up questions with staff outside the meeting.
Ending: City officials thanked PG&E for the repairs and updates; staff will continue to coordinate traffic and paving timelines as the projects approach.
