Overview
This bill aims to reduce the number of utility poles in New Jersey by requiring their removal when an electric public utility identifies a ‘double utility pole’ – one with outdated or damaged poles and attached equipment. The bill outlines a process for notifying pole attachment owners and then mandates the removal of both the attachments and the double utility pole itself, ensuring a more streamlined and efficient utility infrastructure. This legislation seeks to improve the visual landscape and potentially reduce maintenance costs associated with redundant poles.
