Maintaining an aggressive vegetation management process is extremely important for safety, reliability and member satisfaction. Tree trimming reduces outages by helping to prevent branches from falling on lines during storms and shrubbery from interfering with voltage levels, etc. The cooperative's policy on trimming stems from its mission for safety by reducing the potential for an electrical contact when trees are too close to power lines.
There is a high risk for anyone who trims trees near power lines. Tree trimmers that work within this distance are required to have special training to ensure their safety and that of others within close proximity. If you have a tree that is close to power lines call us. We will be happy to come out and look at the situation and if necessary, do any pruning - at no charge.
