BACKGROUND: On June 25, 2018, the Board of Public Utilities (Board) received the Planned Routine Electric and Water Capital Projects Over $500,000 in Fiscal Year 2018/19 report. The report provides an overview of the routine infrastructure projects and highlights the importance of these capital improvement projects. Discussion of these projects provided context and familiarity to streamline Board approval of individual project actions throughout the fiscal year. One of the projects discussed was the planned replacement of obsolete High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMPE) cable -in -conduit (CIC) in the Canyon Crest residential service area to improve system capacity and reliability as recommended in the Electric System Master Plan (ESMP). This area has experienced the highest incidence of underground cable failures, over the past ten years, and was prioritized for cable replacement to enhance electric system reliability. This project will replace existing aging infrastructure with new conduit and underground electrical distribution facilities to improve the electric service to customers in the area. Replacement of aged underground infrastructure was identified as part of the Utility 2.0 Electric Infrastructure Road Map.
