Tree Trimming Practices: Preventing Power Outages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While trees are an important part of the environment and are integral to any landscape, they can often pose as a challenge when keeping the lights on and maintaining a reliable system. It\u2019s a dangerous threat when trees make contact with live wires or its roots penetrate a water line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annual cost of labor and materials for tree pruning and removal is significant and ultimately is a cost shared by all NBU customers. The vast majority of trees that NBU maintains are trimmed to ensure there is adequate clearance to uninterrupted service. Tree trimming work is necessary to protect the public and NBU employees who service the lines, as well as to ensure safe, reliable electrical service.<\/p>\n\n\n
