Why should signs/advertisements not be put on city property including power poles?
Even though it seems harmless to most, adding signs, advertisements, and other items on poles, this affects the integrity of the pole and puts utility workers safety at risk. Damage due to the materials used cause holes creating voids that wildlife may use to hide, causing bigger wildlife to follow. This is a concern alone, but the hidden dangers of the material and items used to hang the signage (staples, nails, etc.) have injured workers with cuts and lacerations. They also cause damage to equipment used (line gloves, lifting ropes/harnesses) when working on poles. If safety gloves that are specific to high voltage are damaged, they are not safe. If lifting ropes/harnesses are damaged, they are not safe, and both will need to be replaced at an expense and put workers safety at much higher risks to perform utility duties.
Hanging of signage on utility poles is not allowed and will be removed. If you see this activity, please contact city hall.
Also, as a reminder, all signs put on City of Mora Properties will also be removed.
Please respect city and utility properties in and around the City of Mora and keep all signage on your private property.
Thank you for your cooperation.
