You Need an Approved Contractor

Cutting and trimming trees in the vicinity of power lines is dangerous.  Touching the live power line, or a tree close to the line, can result in serious injury or even death by electrocution.

Under the Electricity Regulations, no person is permitted within four metres of a power line without approval.  In the Eastern Bay of Plenty region, this approval can only be granted by Horizon Energy.

An approved contractor must be used if any part of the tree is within four metres of the power lines.
