With climate change in the world, power outages in Sudden Valley are becoming more and more frequent. Along Lake Louise trimming the trees once every three years is not enough. The wise, cost effective thing to do is to bury the lines in the heavily wooded areas along Lake Louise. This petition is to ask PSE to do the right thing. With over 7000 residents with varying needs the time is NOW!
