Can I hire my own arborist to prune the trees away from high-voltage lines?

Only tree trimming companies approved by Kiamichi Electric Cooperative (KEC) and meeting Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) qualifications may trim trees away from high-voltage power lines. These professionals should comply with all applicable safety regulations and take appropriate precautions. If you have a dead tree or plan to have work done on a tree closer than 10 feet to the power line, please contact KEC for a safety inspection and approved contractors.
