Trimming, pruning, clearing work expected to be complete by April
Sawnee Electric Membership Corporation has informed the City of Milton that crews have begun performing right-of-way maintenance activities to its overhead electrical facilities within easements inside the city limits.
“Sawnee EMC must regularly maintain its overhead right-of-way in order to provide safe, reliable electric service to its members,” said Chet Blackstock, vice president of operations. “Trees, undergrowth and other objects near overhead power lines must be managed in such a way as to prevent contacting the power lines and creating a power outage.”
Sawnee EMC has retained the services of a licensed right-of-way contractor, W.A. Kendal, to trim, prune and clear the right-of-ways within the City of Milton and other areas. Sawnee anticipates that the work will be completed by April.
Specifically, Kendall will be performing these activities in the following areas:
Redd Road
Brittle Road
Bethany Road
Freemanville Road
Henderson Road
Sawnee officials say they have made a conscious effort to contact all of the affected members in these areas via postcard notice. Additional questions or concerns about this activity should be directed to Eddy Yarbrough, Sawnee EMC’s right-of-way specialist, at 770.887.2363, ext. 7-149 or via e-mail at eddy.yarbrough@sawnee.com.
The City of Milton, incorporated on Dec. 1, 2006, is a community of some 20,000 residents in northwest Fulton County. With its numerous horse farms, family-friendly neighborhoods and limited commercial development spread out over 23,000 acres, Milton offers a rural, small-town atmosphere that still affords easy access to the big-city amenities of nearby Atlanta.
