The Alliant Energy Tree Trimming Team is coming to Jasper County beginning Wednesday.
Tree trimming crews will be in Newton, Reasnor, and Galesburg to trim limbs too close to power lines. Affected customers will be individually notified.
Alliant Energy will disconnect service free of charge to allow for safe pruning with a 72-hour notice.
“The work we do to trim trees helps maintain our safe and reliable electric service,” said Dan Green, manager of line clearance for Alliant Energy.
Alliant Energy expects to trim trees every three to four years, and property owners can expect:
• Crews to chip and haul away brush and small branches.
• Removal of dead trees, dying trees, trees with badly split trunk or limb, trees that lean dangerously close to wires, trees that are fast-growing and trees that are weak-wooded.
• To be contacted in person from Alliant Energy if a tree must be removed.
Customers with questions or concerns can contact Alliant Energy at (800) ALLIANT or customercare@alliantenergy.com.
