植被管理

帮助终端实现可靠业务

而树木和其他植被都是清洁的重要组成部分, 安全健康社区, 它们也可以生长在电线和其他电气设备附近. Help us to maintain reliable service and prevent safety hazards by planting the right tree in the right place outside your home or business.

植被如何影响电力服务?

When trees and other vegetation grow too close to power lines and other electrical 设备, they can cause power outages and other safety hazards for our customers.

潜在的问题包括:
  • 停电
    Trees that have been planted near power poles can grow so high that that limbs can interfere with power lines and other 设备. 在夏季季风期间，强风和
    雨水会折断树枝或掀翻整棵树. 这些碎片会损坏电线和电线杆, 导致可能影响数千名客户的昂贵停机.
  • 安全问题
    掉落的电线可能还能通电, 哪些会对道路和附近的行人构成安全威胁. 如果你看到一根倒下的电线，远离它并打电话
    911.
  • 低电压
    电流总是在寻找到达地面的途径, 植被可以提供方便的路径. This can result in low voltage to your home or an entire electrical circuit serving hundreds or thousands of customers. 低电压 can damage appliances and other sensitive electronics in your home or business.

Who is the contact for vegetation overgrowth on power lines or other UES 设备?

  • 如有任何有关植被管理的问题，请与终端联系.
  • 永远不要试图清理带电电线附近的植被!

UES在树木方面为环境做了什么?

  • Trees and other vegetation are an important part of a clean, 安全健康社区. 树木能清除空气中的二氧化碳, provide habitat for birds and other wildlife and add beauty to our environment.
  • That's why UES helps homeowners to provide low-cost trees to residential customers through its 树为你 程序.

UES如何处理所有的树木装饰?

在圣克鲁斯县, trimmings are delivered to the nonprofit Avalon Organic Gardens and Ecovillage in Tumacacori, 亚利桑那州.在美国，它们被用来制作花园的堆肥材料.

UES多久修剪一次树木和其他植被?

UES works with Asplundh Tree Expert Company year-round to identify trees and other vegetation that are in danger of interfering with overhead 设备.

线间隙 crews will clear vegetation from public property and right-of-ways once every three years. 在某些情况下可能需要更频繁的修剪. Crews also prune vegetation growing on private property away from overhead distribution lines once every three years at no cost to the property owner. A property owner may be billed if tree trimming crews are required to return within three years for additional work.

为可靠的服务扫清道路

工作人员可能需要进入私人物业来完成这项工作. 为计划削减, UES crews make a good-faith effort to notify nearby residents in advance of the work, 虽然在一些紧急情况下可能不是这样.

UES如何修剪树木?

Asplundh Tree Expert Company's experienced crews strive to prune only when absolutely necessary.

UES tree trimmers use a technique called "directional" or "lateral" pruning, 哪些已经被美国林务局批准, 国家植树节基金会和其他植树节组织. This technique is used to remove only those limbs that have the potential to grow into and interfere with electrical 设备.

修剪树木的正确方法

UES能“绕过”一棵树吗?

UES不“绕”分支或使用“顶”技术, which can cause fast-growing sprouts that interfere with electrical 设备. 这些技术也会削弱树木. When trees are planted directly beneath power lines, branches must be cut back. Our pruning methods will help direct the tree's canopy to grow away from overhead
设备.

这种修剪方法, 而对树来说比其他方法更健康, 可能导致植物看起来不对称.

替代修剪或砍伐树木的方法, including running lines underground or altering the routes of power lines, 可以根据客户的要求和费用提供.

Will UES clear vegetation on my property from the power line that connects to my property?

Customers are responsible for clearing vegetation from electric service lines that connect their home or business to our local distribution lines.

修剪树木的正确方法

Customers who wish to clear away vegetation themselves should first call UES’ Customer Care Center at to temporarily suspend service so that this work can be safely completed. 电力供应暂时中断是没有费用的.

我可以做些什么来帮助预防由植物引起的问题?

You can help us maintain reliable service by making sure to plant the right tree in the right place outside your home or business. 为了避免这些问题, vegetation should be kept at least 15 feet away from overhead electrical 设备.

我如何决定把树栽在哪里?

Whether you're planting trees for beauty or to create shade that can help reduce your energy usage, 在你破土动工之前，这里有一些想法需要考虑.

知道你的树

  • 你知道你的新树能长多高吗?
  • 你知道树冠有多宽吗?
  • 你知道树冠会变成什么形状吗?

It's important to know the answers to these questions when choosing what kind of tree to plant. 而某些树木在种植时可能有特定的需求, 想象这棵树10年后的样子是很重要的.

看看周围

  • Trees grow upward and outward — are there power lines or other electrical facilities overhead?
  • When the tree reaches maturity, might its canopy make contact with electric lines?
  • 你是否在任何地下设备附近种植?

Trees should be planted so that no part of the tree will ever come within 15 feet of electrical 设备. 树木可能需要安置在住宅附近以提供阴凉. Be cautious and remember that potential benefits should be weighed against potential problems in the future.

在你挖

Picking up a shovel before you pick up the phone can lead to unnecessary injuries, property damage and damaged underground electrical 设备 that can cause power outages. 在你为新树挖一个地方之前, call 亚利桑那州ona 811 (formerly 亚利桑那州ona Blue Stake) at 1-800-STAKE-IT (1-) at least two working days before you dig so that underground facilities can be marked. 终端机将免费定位公司自有的服务线路.
