Eversource to begin tree work the first week of April.
As part of Eversource’s ongoing commitment to deliver reliable energy to customers, Eversource has contracted with qualified tree contractors to perform routine vegetation maintenance within the electric system rights of way The work, which is scheduled to begin the first week of April, is part of Eversource’s continuing efforts to ensure reliable electric service to you and to thousands of homes and businesses throughout the region, especially during extreme weather events.
Why Tree Work is Important
- To protect the electric system, we remove tall-growing species from the right of way and cut branches extending into the right of way. These trees and branches pose a serious safety hazard, now or in the future, if they contact energized equipment.
- Vegetation contact with electric facilities may lead to power outrages that could impact thousands of electric customers. The clearing of trees and branches in and along the right of way will improve system performance, especially during severe weather events.
Work in Your Neighborhood
The vegetation management work may include:
- Clearing of incompatible trees and/or removal of branches that are encroaching into the right of way.
- Removing tall-growing tree species that are incompatible to the transmission system, using manual climbing crews or mechanical tree-harvesting equipment, and tree-chipping machinery.
What You Can Expect
We want you to know that this work will not interrupt electric service to your property. Work hours will typically be 7 am to 7 pm, Monday through Saturday. Due to weather or other unexpected circumstances, from time to time crews may need to work longer hours or on a Sunday.
In certain areas, this vegetation management scope may be more than what has been experienced in the past.
Based on the width of the right of way, the type and number of transmission lines, the location of the lines within the right of way and the topography, Eversource employs a “one-zone” vegetation maintenance method. This method establishes the following:
- One-zone maintenance occurs within a right of way wire zone, which is the area directly under the transmission lines, extending to the edge of the easement or the width of the maintained area. Eversource manages the wire zone to promote a low-growing plant community dominated by grasses, flowers, ferns and small shrubs under 3 feet in height at maturity. Within this zone, trees and brush are selectively removed to allow for the establishment and preservation of these native, low-growing plant communities in non-lawn areas. Only established compatible species with a mature height of 15 feet or less at maturity may be allowed to remain in the wire zone, depending on location. All other plants with a mature height greater than 15 feet will be removed.
The diagram illustrates a typical right of way condition. This work is occurring within the existing edge of clearing. Your neighborhood may have a different configuration of transmission structures.
Work Performance
Eversource is using approved contractors to conduct this work. The work may be completed in several stages, or at various times during the year. Work may also be performed by different contractors depending on the scope of work required in the particular right of way. Trimming and tree removal is performed throughout the year.
Keeping the Wood from Cleared Areas
If you would like to keep the wood from trees cut on your property, please call 888-673-9943. The wood that is to be kept for your personal use will be placed along the edge of the maintained area within the right of way and outside of the wire zone and environmentally sensitive areas. Wood and cut branches not left for personal use will be chipped & removed, slashed, or diced and left within the right of way. Diced vegetation will not be left within access areas or within the cleared areas around structures and guy wires. Debris will also be kept out of water courses, stream and river banks and bodies of water including standing water in wetland areas.
Additional Communication
Those with property in the area will be receiving a door hanger or email informing them of the scheduled work.
Please contact Eversource if you have a private water well within 100’ of the electric transmission right of way or with any questions you might have. We can be reached at 888-673-9943 or MAVegMaintenance@eversource.com
