NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS – Aerial Saw Vegetation Management

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power Company plans to manage vegetation along the Hurricane-Hurricane Creek Road portion of its 12kV distribution system in Putnam County, WV.  On or about November 29th, 2021, a helicopter will begin trimming trees away from power lines.  A ground crew will follow up to remove tree trimmings from streams, roads and maintained areas.  In unmaintained or undeveloped areas, trimmings will remain on site so as to minimize soil disturbance and to promote biodegradation.

 

Rights-of-way in this area expected to be all or partially involved in the program are:  Hurricane Creek Rd., Peach Ridge Rd., Sleepy Creek Rd., Trace Creek Rd., Poindexter Creek, Foster Rd., and Mill Hollow Rd.

 

Company representatives will be present at the time of the aerial saw work.  Specifics regarding your property may be discussed at that time.  If you are a nonresident property owner and have questions regarding our right-of-way maintenance, they may be directed to:
