<br /> Eugene Water & Electric Board will prune trees on
<br /> North Adams Street between 2nd and 6th
<br /> Avenues beginning July 12th.
<br /> EWEB had originally planned to conduct pruning throughout the Whiteaker
<br /> Neighborhood. However, the utility has decided only to trim along the powerlines
<br /> onNorth Adams and other individually selected "hot spots” that cannot wait until
<br /> this fall to be trimmed. Homeowners will be contacted prior to trimming.
<br /> The reason for this deferral is to minimize the visual impact on the Whiteaker
<br /> Neighborhood during the season that most residents appreciate their trees the
<br /> most.
<br /> J The pruning scheduled in late fall is the normal cyclical trimming that is per -
<br /> formed to insure public safety and service reliability. EWEB trims to a utility
<br /> industry standard of 10 feet below the "high voltage" lines. This amount of
<br /> -- '" - clearance has produced the best balance between the health of the tree, the '
<br /> r aesthetic needs of our customers, and the desire to keep electricity costs to a -
<br /> minimum.
<br /> EWEB's tree pruning program is based on three goals:
<br /> To insure public safety. Any parent would panic at the thought of their
<br /> child climbing a tree that has grown into a powerline. Electrocution is only
<br /> one possible hazard that can arise from tree limbs that have grown too close
<br /> to powerlines. Fire is another. Tree pruning is an important part of EWEB's
<br /> committment to provide safe and reliable service to our customers.
<br /> * To provide uninterrupted power to the community.
<br /> To preserve the aesthetic beauty of the neighborhood. EWEB's tree
<br /> pruning program operates on a cyclical basis. The frequency of pruning
<br /> depends on weather conditions which influence the amount of tree growth
<br /> w trimming
<br /> . in a given year. Under normal growth conditions, EWEB's tree trii
<br /> ' clearances result in an average 3 to 4 year trim cycle. v :
