For more information, you can interact with the marked sections on the map. Scheduled detours will appear below. 1: EVERSOURCE TREE PRUNING Contractors for EVERSOURCE will begin tree pruning on many of their various circuits around the city. Asplundh tree company will be doing the work under the supervision of EVERSOURCE arborists. This work we be done in many areas of the city you may contact the DPW with questions or concerns at 781-897-5992. Below is information from EVERSOURCE. In order to improve electric service reliability and safety for our customers and employees, Eversource Energy will be performing vegetation maintenance within the City of Woburn on electric circuits listed above. Established trees will be pruned using industry standard techniques designed to preserve health and structural integrity while obtaining the necessary clearance for a high factor of safety and reliability. The long-term goal of pruning is to direct future tree growth away from electric conductors. Eversource Arborists will closely monitor contractors performing this work to ensure compliance with accepted utility arboricultural standards. These standards have been incorporated into the Eversource Specification for Local Distribution Line Clearance Tree Work and Brush Control. The overarching principle of our pruning specifications is to maintain a high degree of safety and service reliability over the course of our 4-year pruning cycle. We aim for clearance of 10 feet below and to the sides of the primary conductors and 15 feet above. Fast growing volunteer trees and brush developing directly under our conductors, cannot be trained away from wires and should be cut to the ground. To ensure reliability at critical locations on a circuit, I may prescribe additional pruning to eliminate or reduce overhang of trees with high probability of limb failure. See ANSI A-300 tree maintenance standards for underlying pruning principles and best management practices. Established trees over 4 inches in diameter that cannot be effectively pruned away from conductors and continue to constitute a threat, may be targeted for removal. Line clearance contractors are obligated to adhere to the Eversource Specifications described within this notification and the included packet. The line clearance contractor performing this work will be identified prior to the start of the project at your request. The name and contact information of the local supervisor will be provided. We attempt to notify all residents living on the affected circuits by mail in advance of any scheduled work. Scheduled circuits may include designated Scenic Roads. 2: Water System improvements Contractors for the city of Woburn will begin water system improvements on Monday 9/20/2021.
