Letters, Sept. 9
As River Heights residents were caught in a storm on September 8, they endured 10 hours without power following a powerful strike near their back lane. Two additional brief outages occurred on Monday and early Tuesday morning. Despite the city’s praise for tree canopy maintenance, the storm served as a reminder that a more proactive approach to tree trimming near power lines could prevent such incidents.
The article questions the responsibility for this work and the necessary resources, suggesting that a decision could significantly improve safety and reliability of electricity.
