Providing you with safe and reliable electricity is a priority at UPPCO. That's why we have a proactive tree trimming program. To prevent trees from growing into power line areas, we trim trees every 6 years in residential areas and every 5, 6, or 8 years in rural areas.
Despite our hard work, trees and branches can still cause power outages, especially during storms.
If you have a tree that has grown into or has fallen onto power lines, stay away and call UPPCO: (906) 449-2013. A tree limb in contact with an electric line is extremely dangerous and life-threatening.
Tree trimming can be dangerous. Any tree trimming should be left to professional tree trimmers.
