PG&E employees and contractors have been spotted walking the streets of WG this week. They are sporting orange vests and looking for trees that have grown too close to the power lines.

They are identifying trees that need trimming in proximity to power lines, and neighbors will soon see crews out trimming those trees (suspected trees are getting blue paint dots on their trunks near the curb and homeowners are getting notification fliers).

While some readers on the WGNA eList have wondered if something nefarious may be afoot, it is just a precaution against a repeat of last year’s power outages caused by trees falling during storms.
