BAINBRIDGE, Ga. (WALB) – The City of Bainbridge is notifying residents that Georgia Power crews will soon begin work in the area to enhance the safety and reliability of the local energy grid.
According to city officials, one of the leading causes of power outages is trees and limbs coming into contact with power lines. To address this, Georgia Power has contracted professional utility arborists and specialized crews to trim — and in some cases, remove — trees located too close to power lines or within utility right-of-ways.
All work will be conducted with safety and quality in mind. If tree work is needed on private property, affected residents will be contacted directly.
For questions or concerns regarding the project, residents are encouraged to contact Georgia Power’s Customer Support Team: (877) 276-0578, georgiapowertrees@southernco.com
City officials thank the community for their patience and cooperation as Georgia Power works to reduce outages and ensure safer, more reliable power service.
