Trees and your Power Supply

The Waikato is a region of great beauty - fertile pastures, clean rivers and millions of trees.

Unfortunately, overgrown and inappropriate trees near power lines are one of the biggest contributors to power outages in our area.
 
Even when trees appear to be well clear of the lines, they still pose a threat to the power supply during storms and strong winds.
 
WEL Networks, your electricity lines company, is dedicated to delivering safe and reliable power to you.
 
To help increase the reliability of your power supply, we have prepared a guide for planting trees, and some guidelines on how to deal with problem trees growing around power lines.
