Residents in the area may see drones flying overhead as part of the inspection process. Crews are also going door-to-door to notify community members about the project.
The inspections are intended to spot potential problems before they cause outages and to help maintain the reliability of the local electrical system.
Neighbors are encouraged to spread the word so everyone is aware of the activity.

Drones are becoming a very useful tool for doing inspections of power poles, wires, trees and brush that surround them. The crews going door-to-door to let the community people know about the project is good idea, as I am sure many will think it is an invasion of their privacy. Tell all your friends and neighbors about the project. Anything being done to stop fires from starting is a winner in my book.
I doubt the easement says they can fly drones over private property!!!!
Air space has no easement, so they can fly legally.
I was raided years back by more then the sheriff.that winter a handful of the special agents were mixed in with the linemen walking around a couple times.dressed like real pg&e linemen.maybe thats why there called special agents there good at playing a role.
WWJD. That is a complete lie!
“Crews are also going door-to-door to notify community members about the project.”
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
They should have sent a notice by mail.
Great idea! Certainly would have cost them less than door-to-door knocking. I’m still not sure who’s knocking…
[edit: No advocating violence]
You do realize who they are going to come looking for if a drone gets shot down..
I have no problem with low-flying drones over a legal right-of-way. However, shooting down illegally trespassing drones as a form of “citizen’s arrest” could make for some interesting court cases…goose gun range being about 400′ proves drone was violating private airspace, i.e. trespassing on private property, possibly attempting to flee, in violation of law.
I’ve had success with my goose gun.
Nice , More of the after a fire response to try to look concerned.

Not sure of the point of this when satellites pass over recording images in such detail as to id thread patterns on tires mix that with a ai bot trained to id such things can be done in less time less intrusion and less expense but hey with the rates we pay for power pge has money to burn … oh my bad too soon ?
