Description/History

Oncor is working with the developer of Watson Branch to provide electrical service to the Aura and Overture apartment complexes. Oncor proposes to install electric lines along FM 157 to Watson Branch. There is a 450-foot span in the FM 157 right-of-way north of Watson Branch where the electric lines must cross sanitary sewer, drainage, and gas easements if the lines are placed underground. Oncor estimates that it will cost approximately $50,000 if the City would like the lines buried.
