Tonight the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency board voted unanimously to grant an easement to Southern California Edison (SCE), allowing it to replace about 8,850 feet of overhead power lines with underground lines to feed an existing Calleguas Municipal Water Dist water pressure regulating station. This is in the Arroyo Conejo near Ventu Park and Rancho Conejo.

Underground lines reduce fire risk, improve power reliability, and ensure water availability during emergencies. The work will not require any tree removals.
