Whenever the Service Director determines it necessary, in order to protect the safety of his or her employees as well as to temporarily protect the wires of any public utility, to trim or remove trees in any highway, park or public place, he or she shall serve a written notice to the utility which owns the wires, to either trim or top the trees below their wires, as the case may be, or to remove their wires so that trim or removal work can proceed without hindrance. The public utility shall comply with such an order within twenty-four hours after the service of notice.
