Does the City of Nampa Forestry Division trim around wires?

No. Idaho Power hires qualified line clearing contractors to keep the power lines clear. Idaho Power has the knowledge to create necessary line clearances while at the same time considering each tree's species, size, and natural shape.

If you have a tree near a power line that you think needs to be pruned or removed, or if you notice a tree interfering with power lines, contact Idaho Power at 800-488-6151.
