Tree Pruning Around Power Lines: When to Call Us

Questions? Call our Operations Center at (509) 546-5975 or to report an issue online complete this Tree Trimming Request.

Tree trimming reduces trees’ contact with power lines. We hire highly trained and qualified line clearance professionals to perform required work. Only qualified line clearance tree contractors are allowed to work within 10 feet of high voltage lines. Never attempt to prune trees near power lines yourself.

When to Call Us: 
If you have questions about a tree near your power lines, please call us! We’re here to help you understand when it’s safe to prune trees and when we need to be involved.

If you’re working on trees near your secondary electrical service (the low-voltage lines connecting to your house), we can disconnect and reconnect your power at no cost to you if it’s done during our regular working hours. This allows you to do the work safely.

We only offer tree trimming services on the primary line. These are the main power lines, which carry higher voltage and are dangerous for anyone without specialized training to work near. This program is offered in the fall season each year, and you must contact our operations department to get your name on the schedule for this service.
When in doubt about a tree near your power lines, always call us first 509-546-5975. We’re here to help ensure your safety.
