Many environmental factors can create potentially hazardous conditions — harsh weather, vegetation and animal contact, even motor vehicle accidents. Many times those conditions cause service interruptions. We need to do everything we can in order to ensure we’re ready when the time comes. That’s why, outside of the standard training Unitil employees undergo, we regularly perform company-wide preparation drills.

Sun, rain, sleet, snow...trees have to withstand all of nature’s elements. But trees are hardy, and they keep growing year after year. At Unitil, we prune trees and vegetation near our power lines and equipment to maintain safety, increase system reliability, and prevent hazards.

Trees near power lines are the single greatest cause of power outages on most electric systems. Unitil performs enhanced tree pruning work to help increase our electric system's resiliency during a major storm. We strive to achieve ground-to-sky clearance that includes the removal of trees and branches growing above our electric wires as well as the incompatible trees growing underneath them that could cause future problems.
