Frequently Asked Questions

Please see the most frequently asked questions below.

• Will there be tree trimming?
  Trees growing near power lines significantly increase the chance of power outages and pose safety risks. As we reconfigure and improve our electric circuits, we will trim trees, where necessary, following our utility best practice model (ANSI A300 standards as well as the Best Management Practices Tree Pruning publication): 8 feet to each side; 12 feet above; and 10 feet below the line.
