The City has been informed by ComEd that the utility will be trimming trees, branches and other vegetation near power lines in the next three months.
This work will primarily occur in the City’s northwest quadrant. The specific streets are highlighted on the map. ComEd has mailed postcards to the affected customers and property owners.
According to the utility, tree trimming is a key component of ComEd’s maintenance program to ensure system reliability, as vegetation contact with ComEd equipment is a leading cause of outages.
Qualified line-clearance workers contracted by ComEd will be performing the tree pruning work. According to the utility, supervisors and general foremen will be in close contact with the crews, ensuring that the work is performed properly.
