United Illuminating will begin a capital improvement project to replace poles and raise primary electrical wires by 10 feet.
The work will require the pruning or removal of trees in the public right of way, said Leo Kelly, the city’s tree warden.
The project will involve work on Atwater Street, Blohm Street, Campbell Avenue, Leete Street, Noble Street, Park Street, Peck Avenue, Peck Lane, Thomas Street, Washington Avenue and William Street.
The project, done by Lewis Tree Service under a permit from Kelly, will include work on private trees with homeowner permission.
