Who is responsible for trimming limbs near the line that connects to my home or business?
• The homeowner is responsible for clearing vegetation near service wires. Central Hudson crews will drop service wires so that the property owner’s contractor can safely trim or remove limbs or trees (contact our Call Center at (845) 452-2700 or 1-800-527-2714, or have the contractor make the arrangements). Also, Central Hudson will remove brush or limbs as a result of routine tree trimming, however limbs that have fallen or have been trimmed as a result of a storm should be removed by the property owner. Central Hudson can be hired to trim customer-owned lines on private property – contact the Call Center for more information.
