The CPUC's Fire Threat Map includes three Tiers/Levels of fire threat risk. Tier 1 consists of areas that have the lowest hazards and risks, tier 2 consists of areas where there is an elevated risk for destructive electric line-ignited wildfires, and tier 3 consists of areas where there is an extreme risk for destructive electric line-ignited wildfires. The City of Victorville is located in Tier 1. Despite the city's classification of Tier 1, VMUS is cognoscente of the potential dangers; and therefore, implements practices that go above the required industry standards as described below.
Additionally, VMUS customers are unlikely to be directly impacted by an investor-owned utility (IOU) public safety power shutoff (PSPS) event because VMUS is not on the Southern California Edison's PSPS circuit.
VMUS' electric facilities are designed and constructed to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standard. VMUS treats CPUC General Orders (GO) 95 and 128 as a key industry standard for design and construction standards for underground electrical facilities. VMUS meets or exceeds all standards in GO 95 and 128. Additionally, VMUS monitors and follows, as appropriate, the National Electric Safety Code.
VMUS meets or exceeds the minimum industry standard vegetation management practices. For distribution level facilities, VMUS meets: (1) Public Resources Code section 4292; (2) Public Resources Code section 4293; (3) CPUC GO 95, 128, 165, and 174. VMUS' annual budget includes funding for weed abatement to ensure compliance with the standard vegetation management practices. VMUS' system is almost entirely underground; thus the system has minimal vegetation risks.
