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 12 kilovolt distribution system in Putnam County, WV. On or about August 23, 2021 contract crews will begin to trim and remove trees and brush and apply herbicides 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 so as to minimize soil disturbance and to promote biodegradation.
Rights-of-way in this area involved in the program are: Virginia Ave., Carlisle St., Conner Dr., Hurricane Creek Rd., WV St. Rt. 34, Lynn St., Putnam Ave., Montana Ave., Washington Ave., Seymore Ave., Shank Ave., Brook Circle, Meadow Circle, Conner St., Creamery St., Vaturia Dr., Reynolds St., Orchard Park Rd., Grace Way, Progress Way, Peach Ridge Rd., Sleepy Creek Rd., Benedict Rd., Signal Rd., Coon Creek Rd., Olde Orchard Dr., Trace Creek Rd., Poindexter Creek Rd., Staley Lane, Foster Rd., Coleman’s Branch Rd., and Wallace St.
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:
