Downtown Newark still has many overhead electric and communication lines. These lines pose a significant health and safety hazard through the risk of fire, shock, or arc to area residents and businesses. Therefore, the City, in cooperation with AEP, has contracted with Claypool Electric to bury the lines underground in a manner consistent with current safety and building codes.
Underground infrastructure construction is complete.
The Contractor and AEP will be working to transfer power this spring/summer 2023.
The poles will be removed once communications lines have been relocated.
