BERLIN, Conn. - March 26, 2012 - Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) is reminding area residents that a second phase of tree trimming has begun in Woodbury. The $480,000 project follows tree trimming work that began earlier this year. Affected streets can be found by visitingwww.clpbringspower.com and clicking on the “Vegetation Management” link.
Work on this phase is expected to be completed by the end of July. Tree-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.
