The Metro Council is seeking data from the Nashville Electric Service to assess the effectiveness of its new tree trimming program. This program was launched in response to a recent storm that caused significant outages. The council wants to know if the more aggressive approach to tree trimming is making a difference in reducing outages.

Further details about the program and the council's request are available from the Nashville Electric Service and the Metro Council, with additional information to be discussed at a Transportation and Infrastructure Committee meeting in March.
