As of now I’m told they want to start as early as tomorrow or Thursday. They are just waiting to receive the locations of the remaining utility lines that run underneath our driveway. They anticipate the work to take 1 to 1.5 weeks to complete, and they will be working on site between 8am and 4pm. </div><div><br></div><div>Here is what to expect:</div><div><br></div><div>They will have a 3-4 man crew that will be boring below our driveway to feed the new power lines through to our transformers. The process requires them to dig four 4ft x 4ft holes - one next each transformer and the fourth near the entrance to our driveway off of Drexel. I have attached the diagram they shared that shows where the lines will be replaced and the locations of the 3 transformers on our property. They will also dig several 1ft x 1ft pothole sized holes wherever another utility line is located (the spray painted lines on the driveway). These holes will be dug along the side of the driveway as to not block access in or out. They do not anticipate any loss of power, but if needed they will give us a 72 hour notice. There is a possibility that something unexpected may occur during the process, and the power may go out without notice, but hopefully this won’t happen. The reps from Georgia Power also confirmed that they are 100% responsible for repairing any damage done to the driveway/landscape.</div><div><br></div><div>A couple of things to be aware of:</div><div><br></div><div>At some point the transformer located next to Maryann’s home (344 Drexel) was hit by a vehicle and knocked of it’s concrete platform. They flagged this as a potential issue that may lead to an unexpected outage, but won’t know until they open the transformer and see the condition within. </div><div><br></div><div>Also, they made me aware that legally no plant life should be planted within 10ft of each transformer. They will need to trim back the bush next to the transformer by 344 Drexel and will need to remove the bushes in front of the transformer next to Sara’s home (408 Drexel). Unfortunately due to the rules of proximity they cannot replace these plants.</div><div><br></div><div>I will keep everyone in the loop as the project gets underway, but in the meantime please let me know any questions or concerns.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Jordan</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div></div></body></html>
