Eversource will be trimming trees this month in New Fairfield.  Trees will be trimmed in the Ball Pond area and near the Sherman border on Route 37.  The utility's vegetation management programs involves tree pruning and removal near roadside power lines, as well as high-voltage power line corridors to help ensure public safety and reliable electric service.  Eversource says New England is home to some of the most forested states in the country, but that can cause problems when they grow too close or fall into power lines. Damaged trees cause up to 90 percent of outages during storms.

Trees will be trimmed along the following roads:  Hardscrabble, Laurel Lane, Lost Acre Terrace,  Big Trail, Amber Dr, Twin Ponds Ct, Jewel Lane, Warwick Rd., Satterlee, Hudson, Roseton, Hewlett, Hammond, Ilion, Ansonia, Fulton, Calverton, Darien, Ball Ave, Fairfield Dr, Milltown Rd, Ball Pond Rd East, Gillotti Road (to Titicus Mtn Rd), Lake Dr, Jessie St and Frisbie St, Titicus Mtn. Rd.
