In the coming weeks, City Light will begin trimming trees and vegetation in the Queen Anne and Magnolia neighborhoods. This type of maintenance of trees and plants growing near power lines and other utility equipment is critical in mitigating safety hazards and costly outages.
Every day, our Power Line Clearance team within City Light’s Vegetation Management group works to ensure the reliability of our electricity and safety of our communities and crews by employing a systematic approach to vegetation management around the utility’s complex network of substations, power lines and transformers.
To learn more about our program and what to expect when our vegetation management crews are in your area, please watch the short video below.
