Significant Weather Event Declared Effect March 28, 2025, at 12:00 pm

The Town of Greater Napanee has declared a significant weather event effective March 28, 2025, at 12:00 pm as defined within the Minimum Maintenance Standards O.Reg. 239/02.

During the significant weather event, the Town is advising motorists and pedestrians to use extra caution as the municipality may not be able to meet its maintenance standards for roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks due to the freezing rain expected.

The declaration will not change how or when the municipality performs its winter maintenance operations. However, it may take the municipality longer than usual to bring the roads and sidewalks back to a state of repair. Public safety is the municipality’s top priority.

The Town of Greater Napanee will update the public with information during this significant weather event via our social media pages and website.

Tree and Vegetation Maintenance

March 27, 2025

Hydro One is scheduled to complete routine vegetation maintenance along distribution lines throughout various locations within Greater Napanee in 2025. 

Why is vegetation maintenance important? 

Hydro One performs routine vegetation maintenance to ensure the safety and reliability of our power lines. Did you know tree related outages account for 30% of power outages in Ontario? 

This work is essential to prevent unnecessary service interruptions, allow easy and safe access for our crews to perform emergency repairs, and to keep the corridor safe for public use. 

What work is happening?

 

Work in the Greater Napanee area will include the removal of non-compatible brush, any dead or hazardous trees and pruning of branches away from power lines along the sides and underneath the hydro right-of-way.

If tree removal is required on your property, a Hydro One technician will make every attempt to contact you to discuss the work. If trees are removed from your property, all wood will be left on-site. 

How will the work be completed?

  • Using manual equipment, such as chainsaws and pruners.
  • Support vehicles, off-road rubber tired units, bucket trucks and chippers will be used where necessary.
  • Mechanical equipment may be used in areas with higher densities of brush depending on the terrain.
