Tree trimming
Part of the maintenance required for electric lines is the trimming of the trees around the lines. Keeping the trees away from the lines helps to prevent outages that may occur from powerline/tree contact. The Utilities has hired a professional company to come in during June/July to trim the areas around the main service lines. They will be in contact with residents as needed when the work begins.
