Right-of-Way Maintenance & Access

Trees growing close to overhead power lines pose safety concerns and can disrupt reliable electricity. Falling branches or trees are a leading cause of power outages and brief service interruptions. Also, when a tree comes into contact with a power line, it can conduct electricity, increasing the risk of electrical hazards, fires, and property damage. Regular trimming and removal of trees near power lines are crucial to maintaining safe and dependable service for NineStar Connect customers.
