Hills Iowa City Transmission Line Aired
The Iowa City council reviewed plans for a Hills substation to Iowa City power transmission line with six large towers replacing many wooden poles at an estimated overhead cost of 23000 dollars. An underground option was cited as about seven and a half times higher. The project raises height concerns near the Iowa City airport but stays within FCC limits. The meeting also approved 177 new sewer connections at Bon Aire mobile home court after prior staff concerns. City policy on unpaved roads was discussed, aiming to ensure emergency access with sufficient gravel on all beds.
