CHS Community Post | City Light Plans Silicone Cable Injection on North Broadway

Posted on by

Seattle City Light will start another project this October to enhance the reliability and extend the life of aging underground electrical cables in parts of Shoreline, Lake Forest Park and Seattle by injecting them with silicone. The fliers below are for your own information, so no action is required on your part. Affected customers are receiving the same fliers.

Fliers:

Highlights from the flier:

  • Starting in early-to-mid October 2015 and extending for approximately six weeks, Novinium will test and where possible, inject underground cables with silicone to fill cracks in the cable insulation to prevent unplanned outages.  Daily work hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please refer to the maps on the fliers for approximate construction areas.
  • The work will extend the life of the cable for an additional 25 years and improve electrical reliability.
  • Maintenance outages are anticipated for this work. All affected customers will be notified the Thursday before the following week’s outage. The outage date and time will be specified on the notification.
  • Traffic and parking impacts are expected in the immediate area. Crews will be careful to try and maintain access to driveways.

Media inquiries can be directed to Scott Thomsen, External Communications at (206) 615-0978 or[email protected].

Customers can contact the following Electrical Service Representatives for more information:
