Report snow laden branches touching power lines

PMPL is requesting that citizens report occurrences of snow laden branches that are touching or may touch power lines. Branches that are normally clear of the lines can become heavy with snow load and cause faults and outages when significant amounts of snow or wet snow accumulates. Notifying the department will allow us to clear these situations before they cause outages. The crew spent considerable time on this last week and with more snow in the forecast, we can avoid outages or other disturbances with the community’s help. Please look at the lines around your home and call PMPL at 907-772-4203 to report branches close to or on the lines.  

Thank you for your assistance!
