St. Charles Parish asks residents to report low-hanging limbs; public works offers trimming service
Summary
Parish President Jewell described a public works tree-trimming program that removes low-hanging limbs obstructing rights-of-way and urged residents to request service via phone or their council member.
Parish President Jewell urged residents to report trees that obstruct rights-of-way so parish field crews can trim low-hanging limbs that damage vehicles and obstruct school buses.
Jewell said the trimming program is intended to protect parish equipment and residents' vehicles — including large RVs and bus routes — and to keep rights-of-way clear. "This is one of the things that our field crews work on," Parish President Jewell said.
Residents were asked to contact the parish public works office at (985) 783-5100 or to work through their council member to submit a request; a second number for public works was also provided as (985) 783-5102 during the remarks. Parish staff did not report a formal policy change; the announcement was framed as an operational reminder and outreach to educate residents on available services.
