ComEd Vegetation Management Activities Continue through Summer

The City has been provided notice that ComEd will be performing vegetation management activities in the West Chicago area from July through September that will include the transmission of herbicide treatment within the right of way in areas throughout the City.

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.

The City has posted a map outlining the proposed properties that may be affected by the upcoming vegetation management activities on its website. [Updated July 2, 2024]

ComEd has provided a printed notification to any affected customers and property owners with statement of the vegetation management activities planned.

Residents are reminded that qualified herbicide applicators contracted by ComEd will be performing the work with supervisors and general foremen in close contact with the crews, ensuring that the work is performed properly.
