Current Projects

BWP will be upgrading the electric infrastructure in the Tier 2 High Fire Threat District (Tier 2 HFTD) to improve wildfire safety and strengthen Burbank’s electric grid.

Fully upgrading the electric infrastructure in Burbank’s Tier 2 HFTD to help mitigate wildfires is a big initiative. BWP will be performing a series of projects to upgrade Burbank’s infrastructure one area at a time. BWP will focus on areas that are closest to the hillside areas that pose accessibility challenges to BWP crews.

These upgrades will help ensure that Burbank will continue to have reliable, high-quality electric service for years to come.

Burbank Water and Power (BWP) will be installing a tunnel bore under the railroad to support new electric lines associated with the Front Street development. There will be intermittent southbound lane closures on Front Street. Daytime flaggers will direct traffic around the closure (including stopping northbound traffic as needed to allow southbound traffic through). Front Street will be one-way traffic with flaggers during the day (intermittently) from January 26 with an end date to be determined.

Real data, real savings. Receive leak alerts, online access to timely usage measurements and alerts to prevent surprise bills.

Many of Burbank’s water pipes are nearing the end of their useful life. Replacing them now will help modernize our infrastructure, strengthen  firefighting capabilities, and allow us to continue to provide reliable water to the Burbank community.

BWP has partnered with W.A. Rasic Construction to help us with the Water Main Replacement Project.
