COUNTY News:
The Los Alamos County Department of Public Utilities (DPU) will be replacing primary underground electric lines and conduit at the eastern end of Barranca Mesa.
The project is scheduled to occur throughout March and April, beginning Thursday.
DPU’s contractor, Paul Parker Construction Company, will be excavating between 410 and 500 Navajo Rd. and then south on Totavi St. Excavation will continue across the intersection where Totavi crosses Navajo and through to the end of the Totavi cul-de-sac. Residents in the area should expect sidewalk closures and exercise caution while driving through the work zone. All trenching will be on one side of the street.
The work will reduce or eliminate the risk of electric outages where the existing infrastructure has a history of repeated failures. This project was approved for DPU’s Electric Distribution capital budget in the spring 2022 budget hearings held by the County Council.
