Tree Trimming Program Underway In Trumbull

Information via the town of Trumbull

TRUMBULL, CT — United Illuminating is working in Trumbull on the latest phase of its tree care program to reduce the amount of vegetation that the company says threatens power lines during storms.

According to the town website, UI's tree service contractor will increase the distance between vegetation and power lines by targeting trees and limbs on a number of streets in town.

According to UI, the Orange-based utility will designate trees for pruning or removal if they pose a threat to power lines or risk falling into or encroaching on the Utility Protection Zone, causing damage to the electrical system or outages due to their height and growth pattern.
