Hold government accountable for allowing companies to do this. This is what you get for lack of regulations

It's property owners fault. Their trees fell on the lines.

My last bill was $260 & of that $105 of it went to Centerpoint and for what? They aren't trimming trees and they arent maintaining their stuff so why are we forced to pay them so much in addition to our usage?

@@allen_p Yes, property owners clearly and strategically planted all of the trees on their property directly next to power lines, and intentionally didn't maintain them, so that those trees would eventually grow and fall directly on said lines and be without power for weeks 🙄 I know your job title has caused you to be quite biased in this situation, but let's be for real.

Usually it is the responsibilty of the homeowner, from the transformer to the home. (Thr drop line). If I had trees/shrubs causing problems with the drop line-My power company will clear the area but bill me.

Aren't customers also responsible for trimming the trees in their properties and the city for trimming trees in public areas? There's fault all around.

@plcmts17 3 ай бұрын

You can't trim trees around active power lines Einstein! That is not the responsibility of the customer. Local officials and centerpointless discourage homeowners from cutting trees or branches near powerlines anyway!! The responsibility for trimming branches around powerlines falls squarely on centerpointless and they failed miserably. And it sounds like they still don't want to fix the problem. They need to be sued AND fined!!! We pay them to provide electricity. It is their job to provide and maintain that service...the one we pay them for!!

@arthurfoyt6727 So they saw that the initial hurricane was not forecast to hit Houston and decided to turn off the tv and pretend that everything was normal? You can't be that stupid or maybe you can. Everyone in the Houston area had access to the same hurricane information. The updates by Saturday were very specific that there was a good chance that Houston would be in the path. And you forget that centerpointless admitted that they had outside crews on standby outside of Houston, but they never said where they were.
