When you re trimming trees, setting up a ladder or installing a TV antenna
take special precautions around power lines to avoid personal injury. Should an
ob|ect fall into a power line, do not attempt to free it yourself. Call Community

And when planting trees, remember to plant them away from power lines
so they won’t grow up into the lines later.
