Obligation to Remove Danger to Persons or Property from Trees Damaging Lines
A line owner must, without delay, undertake any necessary work on a tree (including the roots) if the line owner becomes aware that there is immediate danger to persons or property from a line.
For the purposes of removing danger to persons or property, a line owner may cut or trim the tree to the extent necessary to remove the danger. However if the line owner wishes to cut or trim the tree so that it no longer encroaches on the notice zone, it must obtain the consent of the tree owner.
