Don’t Put Your Power Out on a Limb

Home is a cozy place to be when the weather turns cold, until a broken branch takes out your power. Be prepared by having a professional trim your tree limbs away from the power lines. For your safety, please do not do the work yourself. You can find a list of city-licensed tree contractors at Longmont forestry online. To have the power temporarily turned off for tree work, call LPC at 303-651-8386.
