Meeting Overview

We were recently informed that they need to run new electric lines from North Euclid (where there are high capacity lines) to the new Pump Station. The most recent version of the electric plan included the following (note that some minor changes may be made between when the plan was presented to us and the meeting):

  • Starting at the intersection of N. Euclid and Callowhill, new power lines would run down the north side of Callowhill to Negley, cross Negley and go north; at the stonework at the end of Negley, a utility pole would be installed and the lines would then go west along the base of the reservoir to the new building . 
  • Some utility poles on that route would be replaced (red circles in photo).  
  • A new utility pole would be installed at the northeast corner of Callowhill and N. St. Clair St. and new utility poles would run from the stonework at the end of Negley to the new facility along the base of the reservoir (yellow circles in photo).
  • The new poles would be 5' taller than the existing poles.
  • There are trees that may need to be removed, including three street trees and trees along the base of the reservoir (green circles in photo). We talked to the owner of the affected trees on Callowhill and believe that the other tree is on city property; it's the tree next to the driveway for the Pump Station.
