Overhead Line 10-Foot Rule

Be Smart. Be Safe. It's the Law.

Carroll Electric and the Arkansas Department of Labor want to keep you and your family safe.  Staying clear of high voltage power lines is very important.

In fact, it's the law.

What should you do if you must work or conduct any activity within 10 feet of high voltage power lines?  Arkansas Code 11-5-307 requires any person, firm, or corporation to make written notice to the appropriate utility company and to the Arkansas Department of Labor, Safety Division, before proceeding with the activity.
