SDG&E Power Line Update
Friday, September, 25, 2020
We are saddened to report that the CPUC voted 5-0 in approval of SDG&E's project during yesterday's meeting.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the effort to get an EIR approved. Unfortunately, we did not get the result we had hoped for. However, we could not be more proud of our community coming together and working diligently to fight for something we so strongly believe in.
We do not currently know when construction will begin. You may check these links for more information as they are updated...

Utilities commission OKs controversial power line project from Escondido to San Marcos - The San Diego Union-Tribune Thursday, Sept 24,2020

You can make a difference in our neighborhoods.
Here’s a brief list of what our committee has discussed so far:
-
Investigating why a promising alternative route detailed in SDG&E’s initial proposal to the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) disappeared from consideration in the final document
-
Drafting a formal response to the CPUC to use when they issue a decision on SDG&E’s proposal (it is looking likely the CPUC will approve SDG&E’s proposal)
-
Impact on aesthetics and property values
-
Working with the San Marcos city planners
-
Contacting and garnering support from our Assemblyman, Mayor, etc.…
-
Contacting other HOAs impacted by this project
-
Effect of electromagnetic fields
-
Impact on six indigenous species listed in SDG&E’s application
-
Positive outcome in 2016 when Chino Hills fought and won after public outcry, resulted in powerlines placed underground
PLEASE JOIN US TODAY!! OUR GOAL IS TO EITHER SHOW THIS PROJECT IS NOT NECESSARY OR FIND AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE ERECTING NEW POWERLINE POLES. THIS MEANS EITHER UNDERGROUNDING THE NEW TRANSMISSION LINE OR USING THE EXISTING POLES TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW CIRCUIT
