Eversource To Perform Tree Trimming, Removal Near Wires In Sharon

SHARON, MA — Sharon residents are being advised of upcoming branch and tree trimming around power lines. Eversource has contracted with tree contractors to remove tall-growing trees from the right of way and cut branches extending into a right of way if they are deemed to endanger energized equipment presently or in the near future.

This is done to prevent electric outages that could impact thousands of customers.

Work in a neighborhood may include removing trees, cutting branches or removing vegetation in a right of way through cutting or moving. Work is typically done between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday unless weather circumstances for longer hours or Sunday work.

Eversource has included a diagram to illustrate the typical right of way condition.

If you would like to keep the wood from trees cut on your property, contact 888-673-9943. Wood that residents want to be kept for personal use will be placed along the edge of the maintained area. Wood and branches not left for personal use will be chipped and removed. Debris will also be kept out of water courses, stream and river banks and bodies of water including standing water in wetland areas.

Contact Marcia Wellman, Senior Project Manager, with any questions. She can be reached at 860-728-4547 or marcia.wellman@eversource.com.
