NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS
To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power plans to manage vegetation along a portion of its 34-kilovolt distribution system in Greenbrier County, W.Va. On or about January 5, 2026, contract crews will begin to trim and remove and apply herbicide to trees and brush along our rights of way. Work will be done in accordance with International Society of Arboriculture guidelines and consider factors such as tree species, growth characteristics, line voltage, etc. In unmaintained or undeveloped areas, cuttings will remain on site to minimize soil disturbance and to promote biodegradation. Rights of way in the area involved in the program are three-phase structures in Rupert & surrounding areas, WV.
