"Our utility's efforts in meeting Tree Line USA requirements - training our workers in quality tree-care practices and helping our customers plant appropriate trees near utility lines - not only helps to enhance our urban forest, but also results in long-term operation savings," said Wake Forest Mayor Vivian Jones.
Wake Forest Power conducts an extensive year-round line-clearing program safely trimming trees and clearing brush from more than 140 miles of distribution lines and keeping vegetation-free the bases of nearly 1,400 distribution poles. Tree trimming is an integral part of complying with state and federal laws and providing increased service reliability to customers.
