Document Description
Sonoma County Regional Parks will grant a non-exclusive easement to PG & E for the purpose of replacing the overhead powerlines burned in the 2020 Glass Fire with underground lines to restore service to 8050 Pythian Road. The easement will be a 10-foot-wide path along the original power line alignment. The granting of the easement and installation of underground power lines will not interfere with current or future park facilities.
