ComEd to Perform Vegetation Management

ComEd intends to perform vegetation management activities on distribution circuits in Barrington Hills during the time-period of July/August 2018. The vegetation management activities are a key component of ComEd’s maintenance program to ensure system electrical reliability, as vegetation contact with ComEd equipment is a leading cause of outages.

Qualified line-clearance workers contracted by ComEd will be performing the tree pruning work.  Supervisors and General Foremen will be in close contact with the crews, ensuring that the work is performed properly.

  • A section on Otis Road, just west of Heron Lane.
  • A section just off Otis Road, east of Valley Drive.
