From the meeting
At its October 13, 2026 meeting, the commission expanded the emergency to cover Phase 2 Douglas Road Transmission Main Replacement and Service Restoration. The memo estimated the replacement at between $41 million and $56 million, depending on pipe-bursting capability still to be determined. That makes this a major future capital program with engineering, permitting, cultural resources, geotechnical, and construction packages still to be shaped.
