Wake Forest Power consists of a three-man tree crew charged with trimming and removing trees that interfere with the town's 140 miles of overhead electric lines. Each member of the crew is a certified utility arborist. By maintaining and removing these trees, the town works to ensure that they will not be a threat to the power lines during storms, thus eliminating outages.

To have a tree inspected that may be threatening your service or the Town's main electric lines, call 919-435-9573 or email Jennifer Gonzales to request a work order.

After tree crews remove trees and trim limbs around power lines, they chip the trees and limbs. To request mulch, complete and submit our Mulch Request Form.

For the repair of area, security and street lights, call 919-435-9573 or email Jennifer Gonzales.
