I had the power company out to the ‘hood to review and discuss their distribution infrastructure.
They soon rebuilt the local Distribution [and severely trimmed trees close to the power lines] and we have had an order of magnitude improvement in reliability [or maybe inverse - 10x better in downtime/yr in any event].
Act locally for improvements from the power company and in reducing the threat of having your house go up in flames.
All good advice. But what I was debating with the other poster about was the concept that the power company was doing something ‘wrong’ if they couldn’t build above ground utility lines that were bulletproof.
