Comments being taken on future PUD Maltby Transmission Line

The PUD plans to construct an overhead power transmission line in Maltby, linking the Maltby switching station to a new substation near Paradise Lake Road. To gather community input, the utility is inviting comments on three proposed routes through August 15. An open house was conducted on July 31, allowing residents to discuss their concerns and preferences. The PUD will finalize the route selection in the fall, with construction expected to begin in 2028. This initiative is part of broader efforts to improve local power infrastructure and ensure reliable energy distribution.

The PUD aims to address growing energy demands in the area. Community engagement plays a crucial role in shaping the project to meet local needs. The anticipated improvements are expected to significantly enhance service reliability for Maltby residents.
