Underground Distribution
Metro’s Underground Utilities Ordinance (BL2005-628) requires lines to be buried underground in all new residential developments. This ordinance:
- Improves the appearance of Nashville’s residential subdivisions
- Allows for a wider variety of acceptable street trees
- Eliminates the expense of tree trimming and overhead wire maintenance
- Allows street trees to grow to their natural canopy
- Creates more attractive streetscapes for pedestrians and motorists
- Reduces the number of power outages
