Brush upkeep and tree trimming does more than keep your yard looking nice. Its also a vital part of keeping power to your home or business flowing efficiently and safely. Starting in August, Warren County REMC’s hired contractors will perform right-of-way maintenance on summer foliage that poses a risk to the functionality of your electricity.
The Daltons, Inc., has been hired for this work. Its focus will be on brush and small woody plant chemical vegetation control in the areas described below and shown on the system map at right. This work has been certified by the Indiana state Chemist and all herbicides used will be EPA-approved. During this spray operation, The Daltons will take care to avoid sensitive areas (such as front yards, tree plantations, ornamental plantings, crops, gardens, lakes, and streams) adjacent to the right-of-way.
Contract crews will be working in the highlighted areas on the map. Crews will work our service territory east of State Road 55 in Warren and Tippecanoe counties and County Road 1200 E. to 300 S. in Benton County.
If you would prefer to maintain the right-of-way adjacent to your land in some other fashion, such as mowing, please follow the instructions below:
- Post a sign on each end of your property visible from the road that reads “No Spraying.” Signs are available at the Warren County REMC office and can be picked up Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Appropriate signs should have been posted by July 1 to avoid any unwanted areas being sprayed. It is very important that signs are posted before right-of-way maintenance begins if you have any unwanted areas sprayed. All right-of-way areas unmarked will be sprayed.
- Make sure all brush is removed by Sept. 30, 2025.
