Tree Trimming

Lake Region Electric has an extensive right-of-way tree trimming and removal program. Tree trimming helps prevent and minimize power outages resulting from vegetation getting into electric lines. It also helps reduce potential safety hazards.

• Primary Wire
  • Minimum clearance is 10 feet.
  • LREA will trim as necessary to provide clearance.

• Secondary Line
  • Minimum clearance is 5 feet.
  • Unless branches/tree are posing an immediate hazard, call a contractor to have the branches trimmed.
