Right tree right place
Reliable electric service is a vital part of our lives. When trees, branches or limbs come into contact with power lines, electrical service can be interrupted. To ensure reliable electric service, special care must be taken in the selection and placement of newly planted trees near power lines. Choosing the right tree and the best place to plant will help provide beautiful, healthy trees that need little maintenance, as well as ensure electric service reliability. Remember to look up and down before you plant a tree; overhead and underground utilities can pose safety hazards. The care taken to plant the right tree in the right place is an investment in the future.
