l. Entrance frayed/in trees:
When entrance cables are frayed, they are more of a contact hazard. Those that run through trees can be dangerous, especially to people pruning trees, etc. The combination of frayed wiring and trees can set up contact hazards when the tree is wet.
What to: How to:
Contact the electric utility company and inform them of the situation in writing. Request an upgrade of wiring. Always inform anyone working in a tree through which power lines pass. It is easy to mistake a dark wire for a branch. People have been killed when cutting through such “branches”.
