With the drought this year (and past years), have you noticed the number of mature trees that have and/or are dying? Many of the outages for Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative members this year are being caused from these trees that are near the Right of Ways. When they die, the wind can either take the whole tree down through our line or large branches can come down causing an outage.
If you have a tree you are concerned about that might be in the electric right of way and cause you a power outage, give us a call and we can take a look at it and help with the situation. Call the office at 417-256-2131. It takes all of us to keep the electricity on safely!
