Accidentally contacting power line can be dangerous and in some cases, even deadly. Clark Energy wants to help our members stay safe around power lines.

Keep a Safe Distance

Whether you are playing outdoors with your children or working on landscaping projects, keep a safe distance from power lines and other equipment Clark Energy uses to get electricity to your home.

Always remember to:

  • Stay away from power lines, meters, transformers and electrical boxes.
  • Don't climb trees near power lines.
  • Never fly kites, remote control airplanes on balloons near power lines.
  • If you get something stuck in a power line, call Clark Energy to get it.
  • Keep a safe distance from overhead power lines when working with ladders or installing objects such as antennas.
  • Never touch or go near a downed power line.
  • Don't touch anything that may be touching a downed wire, such as a car.
  • Keep children and pets away.
