Tree trimming around power lines helps keep people safe and can increase the reliability of service when storms hit. To provide electric reliability and personal safety, it is important that crews for Maquoketa Valley Electric Cooperative periodically trim trees and underbrush around power lines in your neighborhood. Tree limbs and power lines are a bad combination, especially with storms involving high winds, lightning or ice. Trees are one of the most common causes of electric service outages and time spent clearing trees from power lines can result in extended periods of outage time.
