Fw: IPL Trees & Electricity



Community leaders and residents, I rely on you to forward the following service information.   Thank  you for your support in getting the information distributed. 
Safety & Education

·         Right Tree, Right Place
Trees & Electricity
While we appreciate the beauty and importance of trees in our community, misplaced or improperly maintained trees often cause power outages during severe weather and can be dangerous when branches come in contact with power lines. Prevention is the key, and that is why IPL has a comprehensive tree-pruning, line-clearing program that operates on a 36-month cycle.

We work year-round to prevent existing trees from causing outages or danger to you. We also work with Indy Parks and Recreation and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful to continually plant the right trees in the right places through our Trees For Tomorrow program.

For the seventh time, IPL was named a Tree Line USA Utility by the Arbor Day Foundation in 2010. More information about this award.

Remember…
If you see a downed power line, stay away from it and call IPL immediately at 317.261.8111.
TREE PRUNING QUESTIONS?
Call the IPL Line Clearing Department at 317.261.8128.
Office hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you call after hours, please leave a message. An IPL representative will return your call the next business day.
