Did you know electric utilities are required to trim and remove trees and other types of vegetation that grow too close to overhead power lines? Here’s how you can help:
1. Plant trees in the right place. Trees that will be <40 ft. should be planted at least 25 ft. away from power lines (>40ft. should be at least 50 ft. away).
2. Don’t block pad-mounted transformers. Plant shrubs at least 10 ft. away from transformer doors and 4 ft. from transformer sides.
3. Report dangerous branches. If you spot a tree or branch that is dangerously close to power lines, please let us know.
Tree trimming and removal improves safety for all. Let’s work together to enjoy the beauty of trees and reliable electricity.
