Tree limbs are growing into and through the main power lines near my home. These are the pole to pole lines, not the service line. Will Oncor prune these?
If tree branches have grown into lines in an alley, street or backyard utility easement (this includes all major lines except the service lines that go over your property from the pole to the electric meter or weatherhead), you should call the number on your electric bill to report the situation.
To report a tree within 10 feet of Oncor’s power lines (not the service line, which is your responsibility to keep clear), call the number on your electric bill to see if an inspection is needed. Additionally, if you see any hazardous conditions, such as sparking, arcing or burning near the line or in the tree branches touching the line, please call 911. Oncor works closely with local police and fire departments during such situations.
