Why wouldn’t a small city switch to underground power?

509 views

[context: I’m in a small city of 6k people. This stupid town is known for constant power outages due to high wind and snow. Are they stubborn or is it really that hard to switch this small town to underground power so we stop having power outages anytime someone even sneezes?]

If your town is relatively wealthy and the city is willing to issue bonds and/or increase property taxes to cover it, it can be done most likely.

Underground power is expensive and can be rather inconvenient to install and maintain relative to overhead wiring.
