The Stallion Springs Board of Directors held a Special Board Meeting on Monday, February 2 related to a possible amendment to Resolution 2003-2 that required all utilities to dwellings or other structures to be underground. Edison previously allowed for service across streets to be overhead to a pole, then underground to the structure. Edison’s new policy and practice is that if any portion of the service is overhead the entire service must be overhead. If any portion of the service is underground then the entire service must be underground. The CSD Roads Department, Road Engineer, and Water Department expressed concern over disturbing our roads and waterlines, some of which are over 40 years old, with core drilling under the roads. Currently, there are approximately 10 homes under construction in Stallion Springs, some of which could be affected by this issue.
The Board voted to amend the regulation giving the District General Manager authority, on a case by case basis, to allow an alternative to underground if circumstances arise that are determined to make underground installation infeasible.
