Do I need to contact BGE to do landscaping, planting, or trimming near power lines?
When working near utility equipment, contact BGE to clarify any questions you may have about landscaping activities. Be sure to plant suggested trees near overhead lines to prevent the need for topping and trimming when the plants reach mature age. Before digging, call MISS Utility to have underground pipes and lines marked. Always use caution when working around energized wires, and call BGE if you aren’t completely sure that the situation is safe.
