Routine tree trimming along transmission lines continues through February

PSE’s service partner, Asplundh Tree Experts LLC, will trim some trees for routine maintenance along power lines that serve Bainbridge Island this winter.

Trees that grow near power lines and other electrical equipment can present challenges for delivering safe, reliable power. On Bainbridge Island, trees cause most power outages – when branches touch power lines or when trees fall into lines. In addition, downed power lines are dangerous. They can be energized and hazardous to public safety. 

To ensure safe, reliable power for Bainbridge Island customers and meet applicable state and federal requirements, PSE trims or removes trees that present a risk to power lines and other electrical equipment. This work helps keep the lights on at homes and businesses, and keeps the community and our crews safe. Check out our factsheet to learn more about PSE’s tree trimming and removal program.
