POWER
GOES OUT.
Wellington deserves a mayor who does something about it.
What you're hearing
"There's nothing we can do."
"We'll talk to the Xcel rep."
"Xcel will never agree to bury lines."
"We feel terrible for residents."
The truth
Wellington already has a contract with Xcel — with real teeth.
The PUC is writing new PSPS rules right now and taking public comment.
Our franchise agreement has an undergrounding fund.
We need action, not sympathy.
What Christine will do in her first month in office
1
Demand Wellington's reliability report from Xcel. Our contract requires it. It's time to see the numbers in writing.
2
Audit the underground fund. Xcel has been setting aside money for Wellington since 2010. Our franchise agreement entitles us to a full audit.
3
Submit a formal undergrounding request. That money reverts to Xcel in 2030 if we don't use it. We have four years. We start now.
4
Participate in the Colorado Public Utilities Commission rulemaking on planned shutoffs. Boulder sent a letter. Golden sent a letter. Wellington has been silent. That changes.
We don't need conversations.
We need a mayor who acts.
We need a mayor who acts.
The tools are already in the contract. Christine will use them.
