Vegetation and powerlines

Trees and shrubs are a valuable part of our environment, but they can interfere with your power supply when they are not managed correctly.

Significant clearance must be maintained between vegetation and powerlines to ensure a safe and reliable power supply for you and your community.

Not only is vegetation interference a major cause of interruptions to the power supply but can also pose serious safety risks.

Tree trimming reduces the risk of:
  • accidental electrocution
  • fires
  • power interruptions.

Aurora is very concerned about safe growing and undertakes regular advertising campaigns to educate and remind the public of these dangers.
