Cowlitz PUD Wildfire Risk Reduction by Undergrounding Power Lines

Cowlitz Public Utility District · Utility program

$2.4 million utility project budget

Cowlitz PUD has a planned wildfire-risk-reduction project in Cowlitz County to convert overhead power lines underground. The board packet describes it as a 2026–2028 action with a $2.4 million budget, but the excerpt does not show a homeowner application process because this appears to be a utility infrastructure project rather than a homeowner program.
