2025-26 Project

Project Scope

The City's next phase of underground electric replacement construction is scheduled to begin in July 2025 in four project locations, including: 

• South Harrison Street near Spring Street, July 14 to Sept. 12
• James Street west of Ninth Street, Sept. 15 to Oct. 3
• 2000 South Batavia Avenue - November (In Progress)
• James Street from Third to Fifth streets, To Be Announced

The construction dates are estimates and may be subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen factors. Landscape restoration work will commence once construction is completed.

Replacing underground utility cables enhances the City’s electric service reliability. During the latter part of each project, the contractor, Utility Dynamics, will energize and connect homes to the new equipment. Scheduled power outages will be required as part of this process. The City will be sending out notifications in advance of any service disruption.

The City's contractor, Utility Dynamics, will directionally bore new conduit through utility easements and then pull wire through the conduit. Electrical transformers and street lights will be replaced in the subdivision.

Obstructions within 10 feet of a switch, junction box, transformer, or pedestal will be permanently removed except for established viable trees. Plantings within 5 feet of street lights need to be relocated as well. Residents are encouraged to move those plantings before the contractor's arrival.

Residents who have private utilities (sprinkler system, dog fence, etc.) should contact the Geneva Public Works Department Electric Division so they can be marked and not struck during construction.
