NM Santa Fe Southwest SNFENMSE 05-25-2007 210331 7251BIY 1008 Airport Rd Approximately 500 feet of air core, 19 gauge cable is being replaced on a REHAB job. The new cable replacing it is an ANAW-200. The new cable cannot be buried along the same route as the original cable because of very high density of utilities in a very narrow corridor between trailers in a trailer park, and also because of 35 years of significant tree growth and manmade construction that would all have to come down. This cable is in a privately-owned trailer park, and the owner has decided he would rather have the new cable routed out to the nearest street, which adds a total of 31 feet to this cable. The effect on the loop make-up is very minimal.
