This week contractors for Duke Energy resumed the installation of new power lines that will ultimately supply power to St. Pete Beach. A few months back this caused a disruption near #3 tee. Now that the work has resumed they are working on the north side of the Bayway and will be working alongside holes 1, 2 and 9. The project involves excavation and installation of in-ground vaults where power lines connect. While it appears that they may be working on Isla club property they are actually in the DOT right-of-way. However, they are sensitive to our concerns and will do their best to minimize disruption to our golf course and golfers. Unfortunately, in a few spots their work will require the removal of our ficus plants that make up the privacy hedge. They have assured me that within 30 days of the completion of their project they will come back and replace any damaged sod and plants that were removed during the construction even if they were in the right-of-way. Once the work is complete we should quickly forget they were ever here.
