Tree Trimming On Geneva's West Side Scheduled In August

GENEVA, IL — Trees on Geneva's west side will be trimmed by ComEd throughout August, officials said.

Crews will be trimming trees along sections of Western Avenue, South Street, Keslinger Road, Kaneville Road and Peck Road.

Geneva owns and operates its own electric utility, but ComEd runs power lines through the city, requiring them to upkeep surrounding trees to "ensure electrical reliability since tree branch contact with power lines is a leading cause of outages."

Residents living in affected areas will be notified before tree trimming takes place. Maps can be found on Geneva's website.

Anyone with questions or concerns about ComEd's program can contact the company at 800-334-7661.
