You should not attempt to prune any vegetation growing on or near any overhead power lines. Only specially-trained line clearing professionals should work around energized lines.
However, if trees or other vegetation interfere with the wires between your home and an APS power pole, the pruning is the customer’s responsibility.
On April 1, 2005, the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) approved the language in Schedule 1 Terms and Conditions.
We recommend that you call APS for a temporary disconnect of your service wire so you can then safely prune the trees. For this service, and a 24 hours notice, please call (602) 371-7171 in the Phoenix metro area, or (800) 253-9405.
