From what I understand, the issue is with the wires underground that are deteriorated/damaged, so that makes me think the electric companies are the ones who are responsible. How would the city know there is an electric issue unless the electric company found and reported it? I assume they should have the methods to detect the problems. In any case, it's great that your community is reacting to the problem and trying to prevent shocks from happening again! I definitely agree that more law suits would probably create enough buzz that the incidents wouldn't be as common because the companies would be more inclined to search for and correct the issues.

The organization's website has some videos tracing news coverage in different cities; so if one of them is near you it'd be a great opportunity to get involved and try to address the problem with the government and electric companies. My neighborhood dog walking club is looking for a way to get involved as well.
