Storm Damage Update: Crews Clearing Tree Damage; ComEd Working to Restore Limited Outages
City of Wheaton Public Works crews have been out in the community clearing roads and removing downed trees and limbs since Monday afternoon, after a portion of the City experienced severe winds. Crews will continue working to remove storm debris from City-owned parkway trees throughout this week until all areas have been cleared.
Wheaton was among a number of communities that experienced a significant number of power outages during this weather event. As of midnight, ComEd reported that service had been restored to approximately 96% of Wheaton locations, with crews continuing working to restore the remaining locations. Please contact ComEd at 1-800-334-7661or view the latest outage information on the ComEd website.
Please note that City crews are collecting storm debris from City-owned parkway trees only. Property owners with tree damage on private property should contact a landscaper or use the weekly curbside yard waste program through LRS to dispose of limbs/branches.
If you need to report damage to parkway trees, please use the City's online service request form at www.wheaton.il.us/ServiceRequest and select "Parkway Tree Storm Damage." We appreciate your patience as crews make their way through storm-damaged areas.
