Southern California Edison is in the process of drafting plans that will identify the location of all planned infrastructure for Edison, Verizon and Time Warner in Underground Utility Assessment District 6.  This includes both above-ground and subsurface facilities such as vent pipes, vaults, hand holes and new marbelite street lights.  The City of Manhattan Beach has scheduled a public meeting to provide homeowners in Underground Utility District 6 an opportunity to:

1) Review the proposed designs showing all infrastructure planned in the public right-of-way adjacent to each parcel.
2) Verify the correct location of each utility stub-out relative to individual property service panels.
3) Comment on the proposed designs.

We strongly encourage all District 6 homeowners to attend this meeting.  Representatives from the City and utility companies will be present to answer any questions you may have. 

The schedule for construction in District 6 is not known at this time.  Whether the project proceeds with construction or is re-bid prior to construction will be determined by Edison and Verizon once the draft design plans are finalized.  The City anticipates a decision on this issue sometime in August and will notify all District 6 homeowners once a new construction schedule becomes available.

Please note that due to the narrow width of the alleyways and physical limitations associated with garage and parking pad access, only minor adjustments to the planned vent pipe locations are possible (if requested).

If you are unable to attend the meeting, the draft construction plans will be available for review by appointment only for the 10 days following the meeting (July 25 - August 3, 2007).  In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact the City's Underground Utility Engineer, Stephanie Katsouleas, at (310) 802-5368 or skatsouleas@citymb.info.
