BERLIN, Conn. - January 25, 2012 - Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) is reminding area residents that tree trimming is scheduled to begin in Woodbury the week of January 30. The $160,000 project is taking place primarily in the southeast corner of the town and includes Main Street, Sherman Hill Road, Old Sherman Hill Road, Tuttle Road, Hurds Hill Road, White Deer Rocks Road, Joshua Hill Road, Bacon Pond Road, Sage Road and Middle Quarter Road.
Work is expected to be completed by the end of February. Trimming is vital to reducing the number of tree-related power outages and improving service reliability for customers of CL&P.
Trees are the number one cause of power outages and regularly scheduled trimming is needed to reduce service interruptions. Trimming is also necessary to provide sufficient working space so line workers can maintain a safe distance from the power lines when repairing them.
Crews from Lewis Tree Service, Inc. are working under the guidance of CL&P Vegetation Management Program Coordinator Rick Sullivan.
Residents having questions can contact Annie Caruso of Lewis Tree Service at (860) 622-1963 or CL&P's Rick Sullivan at (860) 665-6124.
