Tree trimming efforts will be ramping up in New Milford and elsewhere in the state.  As the ongoing crisis of dead, dying and hazardous trees continues to plague Connecticut and threaten electric reliability, Eversource is investing more than $83 million in trimming and removal this year. The energy company’s tree maintenance program is underway along roads in several communities in an effort to fortify the electric distribution system.  Among the 131 communities where tree trimming will be performed this year, some of the most extensive work is scheduled to be done along 105 miles in New Milford.  As part of its comprehensive vegetation management plan for 2020, Eversource will be trimming trees along more than 4,200 miles of roadside overhead distribution lines around the state. Eversource notifies customers in advance if work is necessary on their property.
