SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Burying of high voltage power lines.  Provides that in Loudoun County and the Towns of Hamilton, Leesburg, and Purcellville, the governing body may enter into an agreement with a company providing electricity to the locality that calls for an additional charge to be included in the billing of customers that are in a special rate district for the purpose of placing proposed transmission lines underground, rather than overhead. The locality shall by ordinance set the boundaries of the special rate district and fix the amount of such tax.  Thereafter, upon petition of over 60 percent of the owners of real estate within the boundaries of the proposed special rate district who shall collectively own not less than 60 percent of the property of the proposed special rate district, the agreement shall be submitted to the SCC for approval.
