Trees and Power Lines: They Don't Mix (Word version)

This publication helps you understand the potential problems trees can pose to Springfield's electric system and how to avoid such problems when selecting trees and deciding where to plant them on your property. The pamphlet is available free of charge to any CWLP electric customer. Before using the Word version of the Trees and Power Lines Order Form, please read the following instructions carefully.

1. To successfully submit this form electronically, your computer should be equipped with Microsoft Word. If you have some other type of word processor, please do not attempt to make an electronic submittal, as your form might be unreadable by CWLP.
