Tree Trimming, Line Clearance

Glendale Water & Power's (GWP) line clearance tree trimming program trims and removes trees from power lines.

Never trim trees that have power lines going through them, are touching power lines, or might fall into power lines. To report trees growing into power lines, call GWP at (818) 550-4584.

GWP is mandated by California State laws, rules and regulations to provide safe and reliable electric service to our customers.

GWP contracts with a trained and licensed professional line clearance tree-trimming company whose crews perform the work as specified by GWP. Currently, West Coast Arborists, Inc. is the contractor performing this work.

GWP has trained professional line clearance tree inspectors who identify all trees that need trimming within our service area. The same inspectors check all trees trimmed by the contractor to insure that our standards have been met.

GWP has identified over 31,300 trees to date that have a potential to impact the power lines.
