What if a utility trims or removes a tree or vegetation outside of the company’s right-of-way or fails to clean up debris after trimming or removing trees from the utility’s right-of-way?
A. Although utilities’ vegetation management activities are limited to right-of-way corridors they control through fee or easement, occasionally contractors hired by utilities have trimmed or removed trees that were not within the utility right-of-way, or have failed to clean up trimmed branches, logs or chips. In such instances, it is recommended you contact the utility.
