Underground Utility Lines Aid Power Restoration in Gulf Breeze After Cyclone
What happened
Gulf Breeze completed a project to move utility lines underground before Hurricane Isaias impacted the area. City leaders stated that this change helped speed up power restoration and improve safety after the storm. More than two miles of utility lines along U.S. Highway 98 were underground during the cyclone.
