Tacoma Power encourages a healthy Urban Forest environment.
Trees are a valuable asset to our customers, landscapes, and add to our quality of life.
However, when trees grow into power lines they create many hazards. Our Tree Crews operate year round to maintain required clearances on all Transmission and Distribution circuits operated by Tacoma Power. Each circuit is inspected and trimmed on a three year cycle. This provides the best program of control for growth and maintenance in our geographical location and crew structure. Clearances Tacoma Power maintains a three year trim cycle.
