del cerro - Project Block 7cc
­ anel and Trenching Activities
P Correction
Panel work by Southern Contracting began in September 2010.
Panel work is when electricians prepare the electrical panel at your
home to receive underground service. Approximately two weeks
prior to any work being performed on your property, you should
receive a door hanger with the electrical contractor’s name and
phone number on it. If you have any questions or concerns about
the work, please do not hesitate to contact the electrical contractor.
To date, approximately 95% of the paneling work has been
completed.
You have likely seen trenching crews working in the streets.
Trench work is approximately 60% complete in Project Block
7CC. We ask for your patience as they complete this work, as it
can be disruptive and distracting. Approximately two weeks prior to
the start of the trench work on your property and in the street, you
will receive a door hanger with the trenching contractor’s name and
phone number on it. If you have any questions or concerns about
the work, please do not hesitate to contact the contractor.
Construction crew members perform trench work on Meredith Avenue.
Cabling and Cut-Over Activities
After all trenching operations have been completed by our contrac-
tor, the cabling portion of the work will begin. Another contractor
will perform the cabling work. Cabling involves technicians placing
new utility lines in the new conduits, so that the new lines can be
“energized” and brought into service. Once the new system has
been energized, the process to “cut-over” customers from overhead
to underground services will begin. We anticipate this process will
move very swiftly and it’s not nearly as disruptive or distracting as
the trenching work, which is why you may not even see us working.

Notices
Currently, there are 40 residences that need to make correc-
tions to their services or properties in the 7CC Project Block.
Most of these corrections are minor and are the responsibility of
the property owner. Corrections need to be completed before we
can cut customers over to the new underground system. Custom-
ers who are not cut-over to the new underground system
risk loss of service when the overhead system is removed.
If you need to make a correction to your property in order to pass
final inspection, you will receive a door hanger or letter from a City
of San Diego inspector. The door hanger and letter have a descrip-
tion of the correction needed. Most of these corrections are minor.
Please do not delay in contacting the inspector whose name and
phone number appear on these notices, so that the problem can
be resolved.
Safety
If you see anyone on your property that is not visibly wearing an
identification badge, or if they are in a vehicle that is not marked
with a contractor or utility company name, please call the Informa-
tion Line at (619) 533-3841 or the San Diego Police Department.
The construction crew must travel in marked vehicles and have
proper identification at all times on the jobsite.
Contact Us
In the event that you are not satisfied or pleased with the work
that was done on your property or your street, please let us know.
Please do not attempt to make corrections, adjustments or
improvements yourself. We promise to work with you on reach-
ing a solution or creating an outcome that meets your needs and
ours in this process. We will not be able to switch your services to
the new underground system if any modifications were done to our
work. If you are unsure about the status of the work that has taken
place on your property or your street, contact us at:
• Information Line: (619) 533-3841
• Email: undergrounding@sandiego.gov

Cerro community.
