Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) is set to manage vegetation across Portola Valley starting on September 12th.
According to a PG&E report, an estimated 100,000 miles of overhead powerlines are inspected each year, with more than 1 million trees being pruned or removed to maintain safe and reliable service to communities. This all-encompassing safety work is vital in mitigating the impact of wildfires and effectively managing vegetation around our powerlines.
For residents of Portola Valley, these proactive measures are to quickly put in place, with traffic control implemented as required as per the Portola Valley report. The residents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the nature of the work being undertaken and to stay up-to-date through the official PG&E website.
The growing challenge of prolonged wildfire seasons necessitates this type of swift action, but it also highlights the significance of continuous public vigilance. For queries and concerns related to PG&E's ongoing tree work in and around the region, residents are urged to reach out to the utility company at 1-800-PGE-5000.
