Tree Trimming
You, your neighbors, hospitals, businesses — your entire community — depend on safe, reliable electric service. Safe and reliable electric service is threatened in part by trees growing into electric lines.
When electric lines come in contact with trees, three problems can occur:
- Power Outages
- Fire Hazards
- Safety Hazards
Trees are trimmed near power lines every six years in residential areas and every six years in rural areas. The line clearance work is done for UPPCO by companies with specialized equipment and trained personnel.
