Electric Project Info & Discussion Edit page

This page will be updated as the electric service upgrade project proceeds. Please post your questions and board members or others directly involved will provide answers to the best of our ability. 

May 20, 2026:  Work at Lot 12 begins on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.  Contractors will trench from the street to the east side of the building (by the chimney). Work is expected to start at Lot 5 on or about June 9. PG&E digging in the street in front of Lot 12 is expected in early or mid-June to put new high-voltage lines underground. (PG&E already completed the underground work on Pixley, so this should be the last major PG&E construction until we are ready to upgrade Lot 9.) Owners will be notified in advance of any planned power or other disruptions (except if an emergency occurs.) Plants/bushes/trees removed during construction will be replaced or temporarily relocated. 

RESIDENT ACTIONS & DISRUPTIONS

Noise: Expect jackhammers or other heavy equipment during daytime working hours.

Residents may be required to move their cars out from their carport spaces to make way for electricians to work, especially along the wall where the existing meters are. The project team will let you know. 

Storage Rooms: We will be replacing power outlets and light fixtures in individual storage rooms, the laundry room, and the water heater closet. We will contact you directly to schedule access.

April 27, 2026: Project manager/lead contractor Joe Greenwood is organizing the various contractors involved in the work to be done at Lots 5 and 12. Based on the current status, we expect that work will begin at Lot 12 in late May or early June, and we are hopeful that Lot 5 work will begin shortly thereafter. There are many variables out of our control, however, so the timing may change. Owners will be notified before actual work and any disruptions start.

March 26, 2026: The Town of Corte Madera has issued permits for the power upgrade work for Lots 5 and 12. Construction is expected to begin at the end of April or in early May.
