Penelec to conduct tree trimming in region

From staff reports

Penelec will conduct tree trimming along transmission and distribution circuits over the next several months.

A company news release says locations include Oil City, Franklin, Tionesta, Knox, Titusville and Brookville.

Penelec works with municipalities to notify customers living near company rights-of-way before work begins.

Work includes inspecting vegetation near lines to ensure trees are pruned in a way that preserves the health of the tree while maintaining safety near electric facilities.

Trees that are diseased or present a danger may be removed.
