Nevada City residents will see 21
fewer power poles by mid-September
when. a Pacific Gas and Electric
Company crew finishes undergrounding overhead electric
facilities on Commercial and portions
of York, Pine, Main, Mill and Broad
Streets.
Howard Swearingen, Nevada
District Manager of PG&E, said work
on the $127,225 project is now under
way. It will be carried out in stages to
eliminate overhead power lines in the
, ~ geven-block project area approved by
‘ the Nevada City Council.
“The City Council,” Swearingen
said, “is expanding the Broad Street
illumination project in conjunction
with the undergrounding work. and will
install a total of 32 street lights, 27 of
them to conform to the lighting standards which have returned the charm
of the late 1800s to Nevada City.”
The South Yuba Canal Building,
which housed PG&E’s earliest
predecessor company, and Ott’s Assay
Office are included along the route of
the project.
Gas lamps, fitted with energysaving dimming devices and mounted
on cast iron posts, will be installed
maintained by Nevada City at 27
locations. Five lantern type mercury .
vapor luminaires will be mounted atop
prestressed concrete posts in areas
where maximum illumination is
desired, Swearingen said.
The undergrounding project is
being completed with funds set aside
by Pacific Gas_and Electric.
