PARDEEVILLE ELECTRIC UTILITY
TREE TRIMMING POLICY
(Approved 01-07-03)
Electric line clearance is necessary for electric reliability and public safety. The electric lines owned by the Pardeeville Electric Utility in our easement or right-of-way shall be cleared on an as-needed basis by the utility.
Line clearance shall be done during the months of December, January, and February each year.
All employees engaged in tree trimming shall be trained by an arborist on trimming techniques for the various species of trees they will encounter. Refresher training shall be conducted periodically.
All trimming that will be done in the rear, sides or front of the landowners property in the Village easement or right-of-way will be scheduled one week in advance prior to the beginning of work. Reasonable effort shall be made by the utility to accommodate a landowner’s desire to be present when work is done near his or her property.
Should there be a concern about the scope of the trimming by a landowner, the matter will be referred to the Utility Commission for resolution. The commission may refer the matter to an arborist for an expert opinion or decide the matter themselves.
In the event the utility requests that a tree needs to be removed from the landowner’s property, the utility/community will plant a new tree that meets the aesthetic needs for the location and is of a variety that will not create clearance problems in the future, if the landowner so desires. This replacement does not include trees removed from the Village easement or right-of-way.
Property owners wishing to remove or trim trees on their private property, where the overhead electric service line is near a tree or branch, shall notify the Pardeeville Electric Utility to schedule a disconnect and reconnect one week in advance The utility will disconnect the service at no charge between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on normal working days. We will then reconnect the same day between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. If the outage extends beyond 4:00 p.m. there will be overtime charges of 150% of the normal hourly wage for the electric lineman. This will allow the property owner or contracted tree service to trim or remove the tree without damage to the over head electric service.
The utility exempts itself from any liability for damages that may occur during the disconnection of your service line.
