[BC] Electrical Code

[Paul Smith W4KNX]

Residential distribution is underground but Feeders are still aerial, and I
see a lot of new construction plant trees right under them.  Mostly live
oaks.  They can get real big.  Ever see what a beautiful live oak looks like
after Asplundh tree service gets through with it?

In costal regions subject to tropical storms when the population density
gets beyond about 2 or 2.5 per acre, the utility should be required to
put the distribution underground.
