[QUOTE="Bill Ellis, post: 672257, member: 59929"] Here in St. Louis, there do not seem to be any ordinances regarding trees and power lines. The utility does trim trees, but only in their easements and they can't even do them all. But, the real problem is when whole trees and large branches not even near the lines, break and fall into the lines. It would be impossible to trim enough to eliminate that problem. When over 1 million customers loose power due to tens of thousands of line breaks, it is going to take some time and lots of people to restore service. During the outage here, over 7,000 linemen from 13 or 14 states were working 24-7 and it took over a week. [/QUOTE]
