At the Cobb Area Council meeting on August 15, PG&E Local Government Affairs Representative, Jason Taormino announced that the 10,000 miles of undergrounding powerlines in the state currently includes Bottlerock and Highlands roads. Taormino explained that scientific considerations were determining where there would be undergrounding, where there would be pole-hardening (including metal replacement), and where covered conductors would be installed to insulate wires.
