The Village has received notice that AEP will have contractors in the Village in three to six weeks to work on clearing tree limbs from utility lines.
For this year’s work, trees that AEP contractors have marked with a yellow dot indicate tree trimming and trees marked with a red X indicate removal. The contractor will leave the wood for your use.
Utility line clearing is an important and necessary aspect for utility companies. By reducing the number of risks to electrical lines, utility companies can reduce the number of power outages.
