PG&E crews will begin building new underground electric and gas utilities in the Coffey Park neighborhood beginning Monday, April 2. Much of the underground electrical equipment in the Coffey Park area, such as cables and transformers, was destroyed during the fire due to high temperatures and needs to be completely replaced, along with approximately 13 miles of electric cable. PG&E will also install approximately 15 miles of new gas mains and service lines and place it within the same trench.
