One of the major causes of power interruptions and outages are trees and vegetation that come in contact with power lines. Trees or brush that touch electric lines can create short circuits that cause your power to go out.
Trees and brush that touch power lines actually waste electricity by providing a path for it to flow into the ground, instead of into our homes and businesses.
Another potential concern, especially in summer months or drier climates, is that trees and brush touching power lines can spark and result in fires. Since trees and brush can conduct electricity, if they come in contact with high-voltage wires, it can be fatal to someone touching that vegetation.
Healthy trees outside the clearing zone are trimmed if their branches encroach into the cleared area. Also, trees located outside of the clearing zone that are dead, dying or leaning toward the lines are removed if they are a threat to primary overhead lines.
