[CANUFNET] Hydro removals and stumping

[Ron Carter]

Shelly and Al. 
I don't think utilities are consistent enough from jurisdiction to jurisdiction not only to do with removals and replacement but all things related to our Urban Forestry goals and canopy objectives. If you belong to a local Intermunicipal group,  make it an agenda item and at least get consistency at the regional or provincial level.

If the hydro utility in your city is responsible for removing trees from under wires (when they cannot be successfully trimmed), does your municipal urban forestry department foot the bill for stump grinding or does the utility complete the entire job at their own cost? Thanks.
