Rensselaer, IN – Electric Department crews will be working across Rensselaer over the next several weeks to replace aging utility poles and trim trees near power lines, according to a city announcement posted Monday morning.
City officials are urging residents to drive carefully and reduce speed when passing work areas to ensure worker safety. Crews are expected to move throughout various neighborhoods as maintenance progresses.
According to the City of Rensselaer, the upgrades are part of ongoing efforts to maintain a reliable and safe electrical system for residents. Tree trimming will also help prevent power outages during severe weather and improve overall system performance.
Drivers should anticipate minor delays near active work zones, especially on narrow streets where utility vehicles may temporarily block traffic. The city did not specify exact locations but encouraged residents to follow posted signage and updates on social media for the latest schedules.
“We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to keep Rensselaer’s electric system safe and reliable for everyone,” officials said in the announcement.
