Good answer, they couldn't stump you!

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.

Good day



If the stump is in an area where it will be a problem, then it is up to BC
Hydro to remove the stump. There has never been a problem getting them to do
this. They also have a replacement program in many cases.

Hello,

We are interested to find out what process other municipalities follow
regarding stumping and hydro tree removals.  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.
