In general, Paris BPU will strive to obtain a minimum of 10 foot clearance from our 13,000-volt lines when trimming trees to allow 4 to 5 years of growth before it becomes necessary to trim again. Some faster growing species may require more initial clearance in order to extend the trim cycle. Limbs may be cut further from the lines to comply with lateral pruning methods. Overhanging limbs will be cut as high as possible above the lines, and every effort made to remove weak, diseased or dead limbs above the lines.
