Dear [Utility Department], I am writing to request that the utility department take action to remove dead and leaning trees located close to power lines. The trees are a hazard and could potentially lead to power outages or worse, a fire. I understand the importance of protecting our wooded areas and the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between the environment and utility safety. However, the safety of the community should be a top priority. Please provide a timeline for when the utility department plans to remove the trees. In addition, I would like to be informed of the method used to remove them and whether they will be replaced. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
