Keeping trees trimmed

Trees that grow too close to power lines can become a dangerous hazard, especially for children who might like to climb them.

Branches can break and fall on to lines, especially during high winds and storms, putting public safety and property at risk as well as interrupting power supply. By working with you, Wellington Electricity can help you avoid this safety risk and help reduce the chances of a loss of you and your neighbours’ power supply.
