Underground Electric Service Lines

EWEB will offer financial assistance to help in the rebuilding process for our customers impacted by the Holiday Farm Fire.  EWEB intends to invest in underground service lines wherever practical for customers rebuilding within the Holiday Farm Fire perimeter who require substantial repair or full replacement of the service line.

EWEB’s goal is to enhance and improve the design of our upriver distribution assets for the purposes of reliability and outage response and simplify the process of rebuilding. EWEB will evaluate existing utility infrastructure and site characteristics to determine whether underground service can be provided. Reimbursable expenses will be capped at:

  • $60/ft for 200A services
  • $70/ft for services greater than 200A

For information about eligibility for this service, contact our Distribution Engineering department.
