ComEd to Perform Line Clearance Activities in the Community ComEd will perform vegetation management activities on distribution circuits in Carol Stream from October thru December to ensure improved system electrical reliability. Overhanging tree limbs that come into contact with power lines is the leading cause of power outages. ComEd has notified all affected property owners with (i) a statement of the planned vegetation management activities, (ii) the web address and a toll free number at which a written disclosure of all dispute resolution opportunities and protocols provided by ComEd may be obtained, (iii) a statement that the customer and the property owner may appeal the planned vegetation management activities through the electric public utility and the Illinois Commerce Commission, (iv) a toll-free telephone number through which communication may be had with a representative of the electric public utility regarding the vegetation management activities, and ComEd acknowledges that this critical maintenance activity sometimes creates concerns for residents because trees near electrical wires are significantly trimmed or sometimes even removed. Only QUALIFIED line-clearance workers are contracted by ComEd to perform tree pruning work. Supervisors and General Foremen will closely monitor the field crews to ensure that the planned work is performed properly and safely.
