Hydro line clearing Open House TuesdayTuesdayT , January 7, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.uesday, January 7, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.uesday Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre, 2302 Bridge Road Tree pruning near hydro lines begins this January in north and west Oakville (zone 2). The town's professional contractor will prune trees on behalf of Oakville Hydro to ensure safe clearance around hydro lines, poles and guy lines to minimize safety hazards and power outages. Trees are pruned to the Electrical Safety Authority's (ESA) industry standard of providing a minimum three metre (10-foot) clearance. In rare instances, trees growing too close to hydro lines may require removal when the clearance standard cannot be achieved using acceptable pruning practices. In some situations, the town must prune or remove privately owned trees if they are growing too close to hydro lines. In cases where hydro lines are located in rear yards, Oakville Hydro has an easement through the property which allows the arborist to access the tree. Be informed: Join us for a public open house where you can ask questions of Oakville Hydro staff and Town of Oakvillef and Town of Oakvillef and T Forestry Services staff. If you have any accessibility needs, please contact ServiceOakville at 905-845-6601 (TTY 905-338-4200) or email serviceoakville@oakville.ca. More information on tree pruning around hydro lines can be found at oakvillehydro.com or oakville.ca. A new office building is com- ing to Oakville.
