Scope of Work

Glendale Water & Power is making improvements to the power infrastructure in the Adams Hill Neighborhood by upgrading the voltage from 4kV to 12kV. This higher voltage and new equipment, including the replacement of over 200 power poles and 168 transformers, increases the capacity and efficiency by allowing more power to flow through the system, thereby increasing our ability to meet growing customer demand. 

Due to the nature of this work, we do not anticipate any extended interruptions in service. However, sporadic and minimal electrical outages may occur. The work requires GWP to restrict access on selected streets in the project area for certain periods of time. We will need unimpeded access to the power poles that are on the street and in the backyards of some homes. We will contact each of the affected homeowners at their property to let them know that we will need access to their backyard. Our crews will be wearing proper GWP identification tags and uniforms. Crews will NOT be entering homes and will only need access to the backyards depending on where power poles are located. Please also note:

• Temporary no parking signs will be posted 2 days before on some streets in order to fit large cranes. There will be no parking between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday - Friday in the designated zones. Cars will be cited and towed which will affect project schedules. Pedestrian crossings will be provided as necessary and maintained at all times. All streets will be accessible after 6:00 p.m.
• Trash collection and street sweeping schedules may be affected. Residents will be notified of any new collection schedules.
• Residents affected by service interruptions, street closures, or any other work will be notified by postcard and/or door hanger.

All work will be performed by Glendale Water & Power electrical line crews using heavy equipment such as bucket trucks and cranes.
