Underground Utilities

While some would consider power lost on Davis Islands a common occurrence, the impact of Hurricane Irma on creating an extended power outages to the Islands was more eye opening.
The issue of underground utilities has been on the Davis Islands Civic Association’s action item list for awhile, and with the most recent outage, this issue could be gaining some traction.   In particular, there is a subcommittee within the association that has been working with our City Council representatives to develop City Ordinances that would allow communities like ours to underground their aerial lines.
Currently, Hillsborough County has such an ordinance and the Dana Shores community served as a pilot program.  While there are varying opinions on whether to underground or not,  the first goal is to at least have an ordinance at the City level that would allow communities to evaluate, discuss and decide on the issue.
For more detailed information on the currently process underway or to volunteer you can contact the Civic Association at leslie.stein2@verizon.net
