Washington Street Conversion

The final major project for the city of Pella’s underground electric conversion is set to begin next month.
City of Pella Finance Director Corey Goodenow says the city council approved a contract to move overhead power lines and replace them with underground wires near Central College.
Goodenow says the city has completed 90% of the lines that can be moved underground, which has helped improve reliability.
The contract cost the city approximately $221,300.
