Selectboard raises permit and road-damage concerns over utility lines
Summary
Residents and company representatives told the board that new utility lines in the road right-of-way may be buried too shallow, and the board directed parties to ensure work meets town specifications and permitting requirements.
The Eden Selectboard spent part of its May 27 meeting discussing concerns about new utility lines being installed in the town road right-of-way.
Board members and attendees said the lines may be buried too shallow and could cause damage during road maintenance. The board noted that work in the road right-of-way requires a permit and directed those involved to bring installations up to town specifications. The matter will be followed up by town staff.
Representatives who attended the meeting included Scott Brooks and Steve Cottrell, who spoke about the on-the-ground issues and coordination with the town. The Selectboard did not adopt a formal remedy at the meeting but instructed staff to engage with the installer and ensure compliance with permit requirements.
