LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Pacific Gas and Electric Co. said it will begin routine vegetation maintenance work along a stretch of Highway 175 in Kelseyville this week.
Starting on Thursday, the company said it will remove vegetation that is overhanging power lines, work that may impact drivers.
Those who are in the area between mile markers 13.792 and 13.911 of Highway 175 may see tree-trimmers and oversized equipment working from approximately 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
At least one lane of the highway will be closed and there is the possibility that both lanes could be closed for safety, due to oversized equipment, PG&E said.
There will be traffic management in place to guide drivers safely through the work area, which stretches approximately 634 feet along Highway 175.
PG&E said the work is to maintain regulatory compliance. General Order 95, issued by the California Public Utilities Commission, requires a year-round clearance below power lines of a minimum 18 inches.
New fire safety regulations require a minimum clearance of four feet year-round for high-voltage power lines in the CPUC-designated High Fire-Threat Districts.
PG&E said it inspects approximately 100,000 miles of overhead power lines, with some locations patrolled multiple times a year.
It also prunes or removes approximately one million trees annually to maintain clearance from power lines, and addresses dead and dying trees in areas affected by drought and bark beetles.
