- Switch off the breaker before any workAlways turn off the main circuit breaker before attempting repairs to home wiring.
- Report exposed wiringSpotted a damaged cable or exposed wire on public infrastructure? Report it on 905.

- Report overgrown branchesIf branches are touching a line, report it to EEU. Do not attempt to prune them yourself.
- Free tree trimmingEEU manages vegetation within the power-line right of way at no cost to you.
