[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parts of Woodley Park have buried lines. We've never lost power in the nine years I've lived here.[/quote] Does anyone know the history of how some DC residential neighborhoods (or streets) came to have underground utilities and adjacent ones don't. For example, parts of Woodley have them, but they are above ground in other parts and in nearby Cleveland Park. In Georgetown the lines are buried but not in Glover. Lines in many parts of Spring Valley are buried but not in AU Park. Did DC once have a policy to force PEPCo to underground lines and then backed off? Or were there funds to bury utilities that ran out of money before spreading to other areas? Were there special zoning overlays that mandated underground lines in some places but not others?[/quote]
