[ARCHIVED] Underground Electric Replacement Program To Resume In Neighborhoods This Spring

The original item was published from February 16, 2023 11:06 AM to June 19, 2023 3:39 PM

The City is enhancing electric service reliability by replacing underground utility cable in four areas of Geneva. Work began last summer and will continue into the spring.

Utility Dynamics, the City contractor, completed the Fabyan Parkway project. After a delay in receiving materials, work is scheduled to resume in April at the following residential locations:

  • South Street (near Gary & Shelia lanes);
  • Hill Road and Whitfield Drive; and
  • Burgess Road area

Scheduled power outages will be required to connect homes to the new electric infrastructure. Final landscape restoration will begin after all the homes have been connected. Due to the materials delay, the overall project completion may be extended to May.

A project map and additional information can be found on the underground electric replacement program web page.
