Project Basics
System upgrades you'll see in your area:
- Crews will replace existing electrical poles and will upgrade underground structures and equipment.
- Some excavation and trenching may occur during construction.
SCE's anticipated schedule:
- Dates: Mid-September 2014 to 2015.
- Hours: Monday - Friday, 7:30 AM - 6:00 PM.*
*Please be advised these dates and times are subject to change due to unforeseen operational factors or inclement weather.
What to expect:
- Crews may need to access your property to replace poles. You will be notified when crews enter the property.
- During construction, there will be lane closures. SCE will use a combination of traffic control signs and crew members with flags to ensure vehicle and pedestrian safety.
- For crews to work safely, it will be necessary to de-energize our power lines for short periods of time. In these cases, SCE will send notices to affected customers at least 72 hours prior to maintenance outages.
