SUBJECT : Discussion of burying planned extension of power
lines by TXU Electric Delivery along portions of
Pleasant Run and John McCain Road
In May, the City Council was advised that TXU Electric Delivery was planning for the extension
of electrical lines along a portion of Pleasant Run Road. The area identified was between L.D.
Lockett Road and John McCain Road. In the July 12, 2004 Fast Facts, staff provided an
update to TXU Electric Delivery work plans. Staff met last week with Steve Johnson
concerning their plans for overhead electrical lines in various portions of the City. Mr. Johnson
provided an update to the planning efforts by the company to increase electrical supply to that
area of the City for the purpose of meeting continued development demands.
One area includes the corridor along Pleasant Run Road from the railroad tracks north to John
McCain Road. From this point, the new overhead line would run east to SH26. The combined
route includes areas of existing overhead lines and those with no overhead lines. TXU Electric
Delivery was asked to prepare cost estimates for locating this line section underground where
there is no existing above ground lines. Additionally, in areas where Tri County Electric has
existing overhead lines, TXU Electric Delivery was requested to evaluate running new lines to
minimize the visual clutter of poles along both sides of the roadway.
The second area includes running overhead electrical lines along Hall Johnson Road from SH
26 east to Pool Road. This section, except for the Bluebonnet Cemetery area, consists of
overhead lines.
Staff anticipates that TXU Electric Delivery will provide the related costs for burying the lines at
the meeting. On the basis that this provides an opportunity for the City to consider funding the
burying of some or all of the proposed line extensions, the item is scheduled as part of the CIP
Worksession discussion to provide an opportunity for the City Council to discuss the project in
relation to other capital projects currently being considered.
As previously indicated, this item will be placed on the August 4, Pre Council meeting for
discussion, as needed as a follow-up from this meeting.
