While we appreciate the beauty and importance of trees in our community, misplaced or improperly maintained trees often cause power outages during severe weather and can be dangerous when branches come in contact with power lines. Prevention is the key, and that is why IPL has a comprehensive tree-pruning, line-clearing program that operates on a 36-month cycle. 

We work year-round to prevent existing trees from causing outages or danger to you.  We also work with Indy Parks and Recreation and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful to continually plant the right trees in the right places through our Trees For Tomorrow program.

For the sixth time, IPL was named a Tree Line USA Utility by the Arbor Day Foundation in 2009.  For more information about this award, click here.

Remember…
If you see a downed power line, stay away from it and call IPL immediately at (317) 261-8111.
