Tree trim crews were busy this week working to improve reliability for customers living in Bloomfield Township, Rochester Hills and Auburn Hills. The work pictured below was done along Ashover Road — crews worked along Winchcombe and Ledbury as well. This work will improve reliability in these neighborhoods along with the system that feeds into nearby borders of Rochester Hills and Auburn Hills near the corner of South and Beach.
DID YOU KNOW: Overgrown trees and branches account for 50% of the time customers spend without power. DTE invested an additional $90 million toward tree trimming last year, following last year’s historic storms that resulted in outages for our customers. This investment is in addition to the $190 million we currently spend on tree trimming annually. Read more about our tree trimming initiative here.
You may see more of our crews in the coming months as part of our accelerated electric reliability projects in your area, including more tree trimming and infrastructure updates. All these projects are underway to improve your service and reliability for the short and long term.
Make sure to regularly check the Bloomfield Hills and Rochester area community pages to learn more about what’s going on in your neighborhood. You can also follow DTE on Facebook and Twitter for even more updates and information.
