I am writing on behalf of the Pinegate community to bring urgent attention to the ongoing issue of repeated power outages in the area surrounding Flat Creek Road and Golfview Drive. These outages—triggered even by mild storms—are a result of the above-ground powerlines that still exist in our section of Peachtree City.
Unlike other parts of the city that benefit from underground infrastructure, our community continues to experience severe inconvenience and safety risks due to outdated utility lines. These frequent outages have damaged personal property, interrupted essential services, and left many residents—particularly the elderly and those with medical needs—vulnerable.
Attached to this letter, you will find a signed petition from residents of Pinegate who are calling for immediate action. We respectfully urge the City of Peachtree City to investigate this long-standing infrastructure issue and prioritize the undergrounding of powerlines in our neighborhood.
Our request is not just about convenience—it is about equity, reliability, and the safety of residents who contribute to and care deeply for this community.
We thank you in advance for your time, leadership, and your attention to this matter. We look forward to hearing how the city plans to address these ongoing concerns.
We have lived here 33 years and have lost power over the past year more than all the other years combined. I don’t care who fixes the situation, it simply needs to be fixed. We have to do without our needed medical equipment and risk losing valuable foods over and over again. We are just as important as all the other PTC residents that enjoy buried lines without having to beg for them to meet our needs.
