From Avista: By Q1-2025, Avista will be working to prune or remove risk trees (visibly dead, diseased, dying, unstable or fall hazards) near power lines. Addressing risk trees before they impact power lines ensures service reliability, maintains safety, and reduces the possibility of wildfires. Live, pruned branches will be chipped and hauled away. All risk trees, wood over 4″ diameter, and any dead wood will be left on site.
Avista will be sending out postcards with this information to any property owners with identified risk trees on their property. If you receive one of these postcards, please follow the instructions and contact Avista directly with any questions or concerns.
