Altadena residents, many still rebuilding after the deadly Eaton wildfire, have demanded that Southern California Edison halt its plan to bury electric distribution lines because the work is imposing unexpected costs of tens of thousands of dollars on homeowners, threatening the town’s remaining oak and pine trees, and leaving telecom wires on poles above ground; in a jointly‑signed letter to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, more than 120 residents and the town council cited “manifest failures” in coordination, financial burden, and environmental damage, and the council voted unanimously to press the request, while Edison’s spokesperson said the utility is looking for funding assistance, will allow homes to keep existing overhead lines if needed, and is training crews to avoid tree roots, even as the company faces separate investigations into its role in the fire and accusations of neglecting maintenance on aging transmission lines.
