We work hard to provide our members with safe and reliable energy. To help maintain this level of service, we ask that you keep in mind a few landscaping tips.

• Leave clearance for our employees to work on utility equipment.
• Trim shrubs and bushes planted near utility equipment.
• Keep utility equipment free from obstructions.

Check on Restrictions

The first call before planting anything near utility equipment should be to the utility company. Contact us for the clearance needed for your equipment.

Leave Clearance

The key is allowing room for our employees to safely access the equipment. As a rule, leave at least three feet of clearance in front of utility equipment, and at least 1 foot of clearance around the sides. Even if we do not regularly access your equipment, it should be visible and accessible for our employees.

Pets, Fences, and Gates

If you have a guard dog for security, please contact us, and we will make sure that our employees know. We may ask that you confine animals while we are working on your equipment. If the equipment is located behind a fence or locked gate, please contact us to arrange access.
