Detroit Edison Announces Tree Trimming Schedule
DETROIT (WWJ) – Detroit Edison tree trimming crews will be working in several local communities over the next two months, removing fallen limbs and cutting back branches.
Vince Dow, DTE Energy vice president of Distribution Operations, said the goal is to trim a 10-foot distance between tree branches and power lines in order to reduce tree-related power outages.
"The pruning method we use removes only the branches located too close to power lines and helps ensure that future growth is directed away from power lines," Dow said in a release.
Once the tree trim work is completed, Detroit Edison removes small branches and debris from customer properties. Larger trimmed branches are cut to firewood length and left behind for customer use of disposal. Detroit Edison will not remove diseased tree debris.
