if you have a public regulated company not performing as they should and costing the city money in the way of manned officers at not working red-lights...I do think as a taxpayer I want answers and what they are doing to prevent it from happening again.
yes. they can do things to help solve this problem instead of just having a blind eye. all you need is a can do attitude which a few posters need. ProzacDispenser
You fine folks in Cary should never be inconvenienced. Cary should be a squirrel free zone from now own.

Ask any utility in the country. This type of thing happens every single day.

If you can use a AAA battery operated tool to determine where the power ends on a line of lights, you can use a bigger tool to find the issue underground. Also, I have personally seen when power goes out during winter storms in areas with lines above ground, but stay on where lines are below ground. It seems as if they don't lose power in those areas as often.
The power company claims it costs them more money, but less maintenance would be a savings over the long run. Everybody wants us to be more like NYC, so why not put the lines underground. You could even do it as part of the sidewalk infrastructure.
