City of Columbus Division of Power Project
Columbus Department of Public Utilities will be upgrading an existing overhead distribution circuit from 7200 volts to 14,400 volts along Indianola Ave beginning in early August. The business need for this is to provide better, more reliable service to our customers. Project limits are along the east side of Indianola from Cliffside Dr. to Midgard Rd. and along the west side of Indianola from Midgard Rd. to Torrence Rd.
To perform this work, tree trimming will need to take place so that there is an unobstructed location for placing the facilities and to provide a safe work zone for the crews. The project manager walked the project limits with a city arborist as part of the plan preparation. The feedback was that, although some of the trimming may affect the aesthetics of the trees, there should be no permanent damage to the trees.
The general schedule is:
Early August– Tree trimming to accommodate a safe working zone for crews and to provide unobstructed space for facilities.
Late August – Set taller/new poles as needed. Begin pulling new conductor.
September/October – Finish conductor work.
Tree trimming work will be done by a contractor – Asplundh.
Pole and conductor work will be completed by City of Columbus Division Of Power crews.
“No Parking” signs will be posted to provide a work space for Asplundh’s crews. Any “No Parking” signs will be posted as needed to minimize any local street parking inconveniences.
Door hangers have been placed on all properties adjoining the project limits. The door hanger contains the same general information as above. The contact number provided for questions was 614.645.7627, which is our Division of Power Dispatch.
