A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. OF THE
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY,
FLORIDA, SUPPORTING A PALM BEACH COUNTY
REFERENDUM REGARDING THE UNDERGROUND
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION AND
DISTRIBUTION LINES.
•
WHEREAS, it would be far more beneficial for the economic viability and aesthetics
of us and the surrounding communities if the transmission lines were placed
underground; and
WHEREAS, the systematic removal of aboveground utility poles and
undergrounding of new transmission and distribution lines would remove traffic and
accident hazards from rights-of--way; and
WHEREAS, the large scale undergrounding of transmission and distribution lines
would lessen the impact of a major hurricane event by reducing the interruption of
this essential service; and
WHEREAS, the large scale undergrounding of new and existing transmission and
distribution lines would serve the general public and the costs of the same should be
borne by all ratepayers.
