The Nashville Electric Service (NES) contract crews are scheduled to prune and/or remove trees on my street. Am I required to participate in this program?
NES’ power lines are in the right-of-way and their contractors are able to prune limbs or remove trees near the electrical power lines and equipment without the City or property owner granting permission. However, as part of NES’ Vegetation Management Program, homeowners are notified in advance of this type work and are encouraged to meet with an NES representative to discuss what will be done on their property. The City of Belle Meade understands the need for NES to maintain reliability of service to their customers, but also understands the important role that trees play in the character of our neighborhoods. The City has contracted with an arborist to assist the Public Works staff to work with NES and the property owners in this process so that the goals of improved safety, reduced power outages and neighborhood beautification are met. Call City Hall at 297-6041 for further information.
