MM/DD/YYYY John Doe 0000 Street City/ town, State- zip code Reference: 0000 Street City/ town, State- zip code Dear Valued Customer: In order to provide safe and reliable electric service, MidAmerican Energy Company must periodically prune or remove trees near its power lines. In the next few weeks, this work will begin in your neighborhood. In addition to this letter, you will receive an automated phone call alerting you of the work. These notifications are to encourage you to contact MidAmerican Energy prior to the line clearance work if you have any questions or concerns about your trees interaction with the power line conductors. MidAmerican Energy s contractor, Asplundh Tree Expert Company, will use our industry s best practices to prune only those limbs that have electric line clearance and safety issues. Vines and vegetation attached to poles and other electrical equipment also will be removed. Trees in the neighborhood near high voltage lines that serve numerous customers will be pruned to ensure safe and reliable service. Customers that request to have trees removed must have the local MidAmerican Energy district forester s approval along with the owner s approval. There is no charge for this service. The debris created by this work will be chipped and hauled away. MidAmerican Energy also will prune tree limbs away from the service line that runs from the pole to your house so that the line can swing freely and the limbs are not putting pressure on your electric service. A brochure explaining our tree pruning practices, inserts concerning oak wilt disease and contact information concerning Emerald Ash Borer are enclosed. If you have underground electric service or do not have trees near MidAmerican Energy s electric lines, you are receiving this letter because your property is connected to the electric system where work will occur. You may notice tree trimming crews working in your neighborhood along the roadside or parked with the crews working in adjacent backyards. While these crews may not need to perform work on your property, MidAmerican Energy wants you to be aware of tree crews working in your area. (OVER PLEASE)

If you have any questions or concerns about your trees that may be in conflict with overhead power lines, or if you would like to make MidAmerican Energy aware of specific neighborhood tree issues, please call 888-427-5632 to speak with a customer service representative who will direct your message to your local MidAmerican Energy forester. You also may email trees@midamerican.com before we begin our work. Sincerely, MidAmerican Forestry Services Enclosures (3)
