You want to plant a tree or shrub. Make sure to maintain the required minimum clearance from medium-voltage lines.
Choose a tree or shrub that maintains the required minimum clearance. It's a matter of providing reliable electrical service and, above all, ensuring your personal safety.
What is meant by “required minimum clearance”?
The required minimum clearance takes into account:
- - the span and height of the fully mature tree or shrub
- - a safety margin around medium-voltage lines
- - risk factors such as vulnerability to wind or ice damage
|
Remember:
Before planting any tree or shrub, choose a species that maintains the required minimum clearance from medium-voltage lines.
