HONOLULU, June 5, 2025 - Hawaiian Electric Industries Inc. has issued a safety alert to educate the public on distinguishing between power lines and telecommunications lines to improve the reporting and addressing of hazards. The company has noted that many reports they receive concern low-hanging lines, which are often telecommunications lines owned by other companies, not power lines. By correctly identifying and reporting issues to the appropriate utility, safety hazards can be addressed more swiftly. The alert emphasizes that thicker cables drooping close to the ground are typically telecommunications lines, not power lines, and advises the public to stay clear and report any sightings to the correct service provider. The alert aims to mitigate the heightened concern about fire hazards and enhance community safety.
