Why Trimming Trees Near Power Lines is Important
When a tree’s branches are close to power lines, you risk three main issues:
- Fire: contact between a tree branch and utility wire causes fires.
- Electrocution: moisture in the tree can allow electricity to transfer through it to the ground.
- Loss of power supply: branches in contact with power lines can cause a power outage to your home and other residents.
When Trimming a Tree is Your Responsibility
If you have the benefit of large trees on your property, you are obligated to maintain them to prevent potential damage to power lines.
You must negotiate tree maintenance if the tree grows between your property and your neighbor’s home.
