HECO to present line-burial plan

Hawaiian Electric Co. will give a presentation on its proposed $59 million, 46,000-volt underground transmission line at the McCully/Mo'ili'ili Neighborhood Board meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Lunalilo Elementary School cafeteria.

The utility's plan is to bury almost three miles of power lines under streets in the McCully-Mo'ili'ili area over the next several years, a project that will require excavation of some of the city's busiest streets.

HECO must submit its proposal to the Public Utilities Commission for approval.
