    RIGHT-OF-WAY
    Maintenance Program

Chariton Valley Electric operations department provides our members with the high quality, reliable and SAFE service you need.

In order to maintain the safety of our system, we have adopted a written program for inspecting and maintaining your electric supply lines. This program helps determine the necessity for replacement, maintenance and repair, and vegetation management of our electrical distribution system.

 

Vegetation Management

Contractors complete Chariton Valley Electric’s right-of-way maintenance program which consists of tree and brush pruning and cutting, and chemical treatment to slow down future growth. Vegetation management is currently scheduled by substation and our entire system is managed on an approximate 4-year cycle or 20% of the system annually.

Pole, Overhead and Underground Line Inspections

Chariton Valley Electric’s pole and line inspection program calls for the inspection of all poles, overhead electric lines and underground lines over an 8-year period with approximately 13% of the system inspected each year.

Substation Inspection and Maintenance

Substations serving Chariton Valley Electric are owned and operated by our power supplier, Northeast Missouri Power. Substation inspections are subject to their reliability plan.

Trees and Power Line Safety

Tree limbs that grow too close to power lines can cause damage, interrupt your service, and create a safety hazard to you, your neighbors, or children.

Do not allow children to climb or play in any tree located near a power line.

Electrical shock can occur when a person touches a tree that is touching a wire.

If you have any questions, please call our operations department at 641-932-7126 or 800-475-1702.
