Tree Trimming

Trees planted under power lines can grow to be a hazard. Not only do they cause approximately 30% of power outages in Ontario, but they can also be a danger to the public.

Lakefront Utilities has an aggressive tree trimming program that maintains and removes trees and limbs along utility easements to prevent contact with high voltage electrical wires. The purpose of the program is to ensure public safety and to provide a reliable electrical service to our customers by preventing unscheduled power interruptions.

Respect the Power

Anyone who prunes or climbs trees that are in contact with power lines is putting themselves into potentially dangerous situations.

Trees and the ground around them may become energized when branches come into contact with power lines.

Momentary contact between the tree and energized power lines could be fatal to anyone who is in proximity of the tree

To report trees in contact with power lines, please email lusi@lusi.on.ca or call 905-372-2193
