As a public utility, Springfield Utility Board (SUB) is committed to supporting its community. That’s why we have several programs designed to ensure the safety of our customer-owners.
Tree Trimming
If one or more trees on your property are growing into your power lines, talk to someone at SUB’s Electric Service Center about the situation. Under certain conditions, SUB performs tree-trimming services. Under no circumstances should you attempt to trim a tree growing into a power line. Because this is a very hazardous situation, by law, this work must be done by a specially trained arborist. Stay safe – call (541) 726-2395 for more information. For more information on safe tree planting, see SUB’s Tree Tips Brochure (PDF).

Springfield Utility Board can provide “dark fiber” service (fiber provided without electronics or optronics, which is not “lit” or activated) to Springfield businesses, public agencies, and telecommunications providers in all service territory served by SUB.
