Power company workers will soon line area highways, trimming trees and cutting back other vegetation.
Lauren Siburkis, spokeswoman for Akron-based Ohio Edison, said the company s $22 million tree-trimming program is underway over the 5,050 miles of power lines stretching throughout 34 counties. This year s $22 million tree-trimming program will help keep power flowing to customers around the clock by preventing tree-related outages, such as those that can occur during the spring and summer storm season, she said in a prepared statement.
Siburkis said the trimming is conducted on a four-year cycle. The program includes inspecting vegetation near the lines to ensure the trees are pruned in a manner that helps preserve the health of the tree while also maintaining safety near electric facilities. Trees that present a danger or are diseased may be removed, she said.
As spring continues to bloom, Ohio Edison will resume tree trimming.
The utility company is investing $22 million in tree trimming and vegetation management around the Mahoning Valley in an attempt to prevent tree-related power outages during storms.
The maintenance helps to reduce outages caused by trees, Lauren Siburkis, spokeswoman for Ohio Edison, said. “The biggest threats to our electric system during severe weather are trees and branches falling into our equipment,” she said.
“Proactive tree trimming is some of the most important and effective work we do every year to maintain our power system and minimize the impact of damage caused by severe weather,” Edward Shuttleworth, regional president of Ohio Edison and Penn Power, said.
