ComEd announced crews will be trimming trees near electric lines beginning in mid-July, primarily on the east side of Geneva.
Trimming operations are scheduled to occur in the following areas:
- Geneva Business Park
- Illinois Prairie Path
- East Side Drive (north of the Illinois Prairie Path)
- The easement between Oakwood Drive, Woodward Avenue and Euclid Avenue
- Route 25 (north of State Street)
- North River Lane near Stevens Street
While the City of Geneva owns and operates its own electric utility, ComEd power lines feed City substations. Geneva interconnects with ComEd to allow the City to receive energy purchased from its regional service transmission provider, PJM.
ComEd states its vegetation management program helps ensure electrical reliability since tree branch contact with power lines is a leading cause of outages.
ComEd will notify affected residents about tree trimming taking place in their neighborhood. Visit the ComEd tree trimming web page for a project map and more information.
