First Selectman Mike Tetreau announced that as part of the state mandated Enhanced Tree Trimming program implemented by The United Illuminating Company (UI) in Fairfield and other Connecticut towns, a pilot program has been launched in sections of Greenfield Hill and Mill Plain.
This pilot program will allow the public to better understand how this program will be implemented in Fairfield and how it will affect the Town. The locations for the pilot program were selected from UI’s list of areas with a history of the most power outages caused by trees, including areas that have emergency evacuation sites and medical facilities in Fairfield. Former Tree Warden, Ken Placko; the Fairfield Forestry Committee, which is a Town Committee; and UI’s Certified Arborist and Manager of Vegetation Management have carefully valuated the pilot program. The program in Greenfield Hill is concentrated on Congress Street just east of Burr Street to Hillside Road, and on Burr Street from Congress going north to Aran Hill Road. In the Mill Plain area, the pilot is on Unquowa Road from the train station parking lot to Mill Hollow Park, and on Mill Plain Road from I-95 to Glover Street.
The tree trimming program was approved by the Connecticut Public Utility Regulatory Authority in response to the increased frequency and severity of storms – and the subsequent power outages – over the past few years. UI’s goal is to establish a Utility Protection Zone – the area extending horizontally 8 feet to the side of the electrical conductors from the ground to the sky.
What the public should know:
UI has selected and marked trees for removal on both private and public properties with a red tag in the pilot areas. They have worked with the homeowners in these areas to ensure they are aware and approve of these trees for removal.
Work Planners for UI’s tree contractor, Lewis Tree, have gone door-to-door requesting each property owner’s consent for all tree pruning or tree removal work.
The Tree Warden has the authority to approve or deny UI’s request for tree pruning or removal on public property (the town’s right-of-way, along the roadside.) UI has applied for a Tree Warden permit, as required by state law, for all trees within the town’s right-of-way. Continue reading Fairfield – UI Pilot Tree Trimming Program

Officers fanned out to the three stores and it was discovered it was the Walgreen’s on upper Main Street. They attempted to purchase gift cards with the stolen credit card. Police then discovered another attempt to use the credit card for gift card purchase but when the clerk asked for ID to verify the credit card they fled. Officers were also collecting images from all the store’s security cameras. An officer realizing they were working their way up Main Street trying to get credit card to work went to the Stop and Shop.
