The Noble REMC right-of-way crew works hard each and every day to keep trees and limbs clear from all sides and underneath more than 1,265 miles of energized line in our service territory. Their primary concern is to maintain public safety and the safety of our employees, and secondly to keep power flowing reliably across our distribution lines to nearly 10,000 members.

Any tree with limbs that grow through or around power lines will be removed. Trees that are weak, diseased, dying and have the potential for falling onto power lines and causing dangerous situations will also be removed.

Trees coming into contact with power lines is the primary cause of interruption of electric service and causes short circuits and flickering lights. In the event of a snow or ice storm, the limbs on those trees may knock power lines out completely and cause it to take more time for power restoration.

Never attempt to trim or remove limbs on or around power lines. Please leave that task to Noble REMC. Call us at 800-933-7362.

Our right-of-way crew also does an annual spraying treatment around our poles to clear vegetation. If you would like to maintain the right-of-way that crosses your property in some other way, “Do Not Spray” signs are available at the Noble REMC office, but you must make sure the signs are visible and legible from the roadway and notify us of your location.
