Inside the substation, the majority of the site work is done and equipment for the substation is beginning to be set. Substation target completion and in-service in spring of 2018.
Underground work is completed. Roadway and sidewalks are reopened. KDOT is working with the contractor for rework of some of the concrete in the southbound lanes that will eventually require short term lane closures.
Pole testing continues in the south west quadrant of the City this week. The contractor has completed about half of the pole inspections. The City appreciates the cooperation from our residents as we perform this important reliability related inspection.
Most new electric service installed in the City is underground. Residential services generally originate from a pedestal, transformer or overhead/underground riser pole in the back or front yard.
Electric service to a commercial building usually involves all underground construction.
