NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power plans to manage vegetation along a portion of its 12 kilovolt distribution system in Raleigh County, West Virginia. On or about April 18, 2016, contract crews will begin to trim and remove trees and brush along our rights of way. Work will be done in accordance with International Society of Arboriculture guidelines and take into account factors such as tree species, growth characteristics, line voltage, etc. In unmaintained or undeveloped areas, cuttings will remain on site to minimize soil disturbance and to promote biodegradation. Rights of way in the area involved in the program are: Cherry Creek – White Oak circuit in the Abraham, Freezeland Mountain, Irish Mountain., Pluto Road, Shady Spring areas. Representatives will attempt to personally contact resident property owners at least seven business days prior to working on their property. Specifics regarding your property may be discussed at that time.
