JCP&L Tree Trimming to Include Roads Near Rt. 46

Tree, shrub and brush trimming that Jersey Central Power & Light is planning to do in the Lake Valhalla section on Montville Township also will also be done on streets around Route 46, according to an update on the township website.

Ron Morano, a JCP&L spokesman, said the power company is catching up on regular trimming along its distribution circuits.

Some of the work was put on hold because of Hurricane Irene and the October snowstorm, he said.

"The vegetation management program controls trees, shrubs and brush growth around our facilities and equipment—including power lines—and is performed every four years," he said.

Waughaw Road from Indian Lane to Stonybrook is dire need of tree trimming. Every storm trees fall on this section of road. Donna Abbott

Dick Vreeland said he heard they were coming and that

it seems to be a good idea.

I agree, my dad lives on Stoneybrook near Waughaw and his power is out everytime there is a storm because of a downed tree on Waughaw.
