Manager outlines pole replacement plan; crews will coordinate with Duke to access damaged service line
Summary
Staff described a plan to shorten a service line and avoid one new pole after damage disconnected a line; crews will coordinate with Duke to clear access and proceed with overhead service work.
The manager explained the original plan called for wood poles for overhead service but that crews may be able to shorten lines and avoid installing one pole because a service line had been disconnected due to damage. "Originally, they were planned to do wood poles because they're gonna be overhead service right here," the manager said.
Staff said they will pull off the damaged service and then start work on the remaining branch, and that they intend to let Duke be out of the way so crews can get in to complete the repairs and pole work. The explanation focused on site access and sequencing rather than project cost or a timeline.
