Tree trimming

Providing you with safe and reliable electricity is a priority at WPS. That's why we have a proactive tree trimming program.

Trees growing into power lines can cause issues with your electric service. To prevent that, we trim trees every three or four years in residential areas and every five, six, or eight years in rural areas.

If you have a tree that has grown into or has fallen onto power lines, stay away and call us at 800-450-7260. A tree limb in contact with an electric line is extremely dangerous and life threatening.
