How will fallen trees near power lines be handled?

One of our top pri­or­i­ties will be to remove trees and debris that have dam­aged elec­tri­cal equip­ment and are pre­vent­ing ser­vice restora­tion. Mem­bers should not attempt to remove or trim foliage with­in 10 feet of a pow­er line. If a tree or tree limbs have fall­en on a pow­er line or pulled it down, do not attempt to get close to the line. If the line is spark­ing, call YEC at 1–866–374‑1234 and report a downed line.
