Central Electric Cooperative (CEC) will begin tree trimming on Jan. 1, 2022, to reduce outages and service interruptions caused by trees.

Contracted line clearing crews will work on circuits originating from Coalhill and Wildcat (Rimersburg), High Rock and Four Winds (Starr), Beaver, Lucinda, and Karns City substations in Clarion, Forest, and Butler counties. This project will last throughout 2022.

CEC will utilize Hazlett Tree Service, Davey Tree Service, Pittman Tree Service, and Wright Tree Service. CEC members may encounter contracted crews. All contractors carry company-issued identification.

CEC respects property owners’ rights and will complete the work as quickly and professionally as possible. If you have any questions, please contact CEC’s Forestry Supervisor, Brice Stewart at 800-521-0570 x2210.
