Underground Wiring

For all its good efforts to protect the beauty of the islands, Hawai‘i unfortunately has allowed utility lines to obstruct its natural beauty. From Kauai to the Big Island of Hawai‘i more great scenery is disturbed by a tangle of utility lines than any other source.

In recent years The Outdoor Circle and other organizations have made progress in supporting laws that require new developments to place utilities under ground. But these efforts have not succeeded in requiring public funding to place utility lines under ground or forcing the utility companies to invest in doing so. Much work lies ahead to rid Hawai‘i of this persistent eyesore.
