6. Near the intersection of Cherry Street and Magnolia Street
7. Off Highway 288, north of Oyster Creek Drive

The locations were selected based on a number of factors, but are primarily driven by minimizing outages for the most customers (while also considering critical customers), ability to communicate via the wireless network (if they cannot communicate with the device it will not operate when needed) and aesthetics of the neighborhood.

It will not alter the other work that is being done to minimize outages, including the reconductor projects, 90 day vegetation inspections and cycle trimming. It will complement these other efforts.
More devices are planned for 2018 and as we draw near to installation, we will make sure to relay the information as soon as possible.
