Upgrading Underground Powerlines - Trenching PG&E Bay Area

[Justin F.]

Hi,

I've got underground powerlines and the PG&E vault box is across the street on my neighbors property.  PG&E said if I wanted to upgrade my existing 100A electrical panel to 200A, I'd have to trench from my electrical box to the vault box across the street and replace the lines in addition to the replacing the conduit to 3" wide conduits.

Based on my conversations with PG&E, it sounds like I need to pay for the entire cost but should PG&E be responsible for paying for the trenching on the public street?  I understand I'd have to pay for the trenching on my property (and I'm assuming my neighbors property) but I wasn't sure about the street.

Thanks for your input.
