Frequently Asked Questions

Please see the questions below.

• What are the work hours?
  Crews will be working Monday – Friday from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• Will there be tree trimming?
  Trees growing near power lines significantly increase the chance of power outages and pose safety risks. As we expand and improve our electric circuits, we will trim trees, where necessary, following our utility best practice model (ANSI A300 standards as well as the Best Management Practices Tree Pruning publication): 8 feet to each side; 12 feet above; and 10 feet below the line.

  We do not anticipate any power outages related to this project. In the event that a brief outage is required, all affected customers will be notified in advance of any power outage.

  To ensure traffic moves safely, PSEG Long Island will provide cones, flaggers and signage at the work sites, as needed, to minimize interruptions.
