Close up of the wires intertwined in the branches.

Another angle.

Hi Brett: Send me your complete I.D., name,address, phone and I'll check it out. Photos are great!

the address and pole number are listed...why do you need the person's name, address, phone number? There is absolutely no reason for it. ..

It is the newspaper's policy.All i.d. kept confidential.

UI has been called, they will take care of any problem.

UI was called two months ago, and has been called by multiple affected parties over the last two months, but to no avail. UI was notified by this issue being reported; it's my fond hope that the images will help illustrate the severity of this problem, and get someone out here before we have a serious problem.

Sadly, still nothing has been done. I can see wires being pulled by the branches.

Come on West Haven!.. Same thing on Windsock Rd!
Why does this require so much work on our end... This is a risk... City should do this on a regular basis!

amazing. UI apparently cut two limbs that impacted the top line, but left the limbs that are stretching the Comcast (cable) and AT&T (phone) lines, as well as some smaller braches that are still brushing up on the electric. If we "can't touch this", how can we fix this? Very frustrating.

I'd do it myself at this point if you get hurt just go and sue the city, UI, and AT&T

Hey! I sent an email to the Mayor's office about our issues with the tree's here on Windsock Rd and yours on Ocean Ave. I ACTUALLY got a response!
I am sending them the exact addresses. They said they will make phone calls to UI and such and get the issues resolved! Hope they do!! :)

The response I received:

Thank you for your email and the City of West Haven understands your concerns with these power lines. If you could send to me a definite address on Windsock Road and Ocean Avenue, I then can contact the United Illuminating to take corrective action of these conditions. Please be advised that the city has no response or interaction with “posted on fix-it” application.

We thank you for bring to our attention the noted violations and ensure you that appropriate action will be taken.

I AM NOT ALL THAT SURPRISED BUT THIS IS THE RESPONSE THE TOWN OF WEST HAVEN GOT FROM UI.
I have asked that the town keep up on this as we are not satified...

UI follow-up response:

I talked to our line clearance supervisor about this. He swung by these locations and did not see anything that " jumped out at him" as needing trimming. At this point, I would recommend that the residents call the UI call center at 1-800-7callui, and have a notification entered explaining what it is that they think needs to be trimmed. It may not be our responsibility to do but will give us a clearer idea of what they are looking at.

Tree died, owner cut it down - issue resolved.
