NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power Company plans to manage vegetation along the Washington St. – Watts St., Washington St. – Donnally St., and Washington St. – Virginia St. portions of its 12 kilovolt distribution system in Kanawha County, WV.  On or about Monday, May 16th, 2023 a crews begin trimming trees away from power lines in accordance with International Society of Arboriculture guidelines. In unmaintained or undeveloped areas cuttings will remain on site, so as to minimize soil disturbance and to promote biodegradation.

Rights-of-way in this area involved in the program are:  Washington, Virginia, Donnally, Watts, and Dickenson Streets, Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana, Pennsylvania Avenues, and other adjoining taps from these major roads.

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.  If you are a nonresident property owner and have questions regarding our right-of-way maintenance they may be directed to:
