Description

The City's Utilities Undergrounding Program (UUP) facilitates the work of moving poles and utility lines underground by coordinating and overseeing projects with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), telecom utilities, fiber optics, and other utilities. The majority of construction is executed by SDG&E in accordance with the City's Franchise Agreement.

To learn about the UUP, see the undergrounding status in your own neighborhood, or learn how to express your concerns or preferences about a particular project, please visit the Utilities Undergrounding Program page.
