The underground utility path on Warner Hill Road is being modified with resident, Highway Superintendent, Broadband Committee, and Select Board support. Concerns about the originally designed fully underground solution are being addressed by adding two new utility poles. Danek Excavating is expected to complete the work in late summer and early fall.
The new path preparation plan is to install underground conduit and two utility poles on a half-mile section of Warner Hill Road to connect the utilities on the lower part of the road to the utility poles at the top of the hill. This path avoids an existing lengthy and difficult to maintain aerial service feed from the town of Heath.
Danek Excavating is working with the Charlemont Highway Department and our partners Westfield Gas & Electric to minimize disruption to residents during this work.
