Tideland has hired Lucas Tree Experts to trim vegetative growth in our rights-of-way.

During October, Lucas crews will be completing trimming on the Lowland circuit along Highway 33 and Highway 306. They will then move on to the Craven County circuit out of our Edward substation. The area of work will focus on the Tunstall Swamp Road corridor.

Our contract construction crews with Lee Electrical will continue their work on the Swan Quarter circuit along Main Street in Swan Quarter.

Fall is a popular time for planting new trees. As you make your tree selection please consider the mature height and width of the species before purchase. At maturity the tree should be out of both the fall zone and the trim zone of existing overhead powerlines.

If your home or neighborhood is serviced by underground lines, make sure you know where lines are buried before planting.
