Look up when you are planting trees in your yard so you can avoid locations that will allow the tree to grow up and into a power line.
If you have a yard tree that needs to be trimmed because it is approaching or may fall into a power line, there are several options:
- If the tree is approaching or threatening a single-phase or three-phase power line that delivers power to you and your neighbors, CVEC will trim the tree to allow 5 years of growth before additional trimming is necessary.
- If you decide to trim or cut down a tree in your yard, give us a call. CVEC will temporarily drop the service line to your home to allow the work to be done safely.
- If trimming is not a suitable solution and you choose to have the tree cut down at CVEC’s suggestion, then you would qualify for the CVEC Yard Tree Replacement Program.
