power lines are involved, we will not touch the tree until Georgia Power comes onto the scene. Georgia Power has yet to arrive in Decatur today as they are responding to issues across the state. We do not remove trees from private property.

<p class="MsoNormal">I live at 340 drexel avenue. A few years ago when a storm downed multiple trees, it took 4 days for this block to get back power. I was told then by Ga Power it took this long because City of Decatur was responsible for removing fallen
trees and it took D3catur 4 days to remove the downed tree. <u></u><u></u></p>

since 456 a.m. this morning and no electricity. IF IT IS DECATUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REMOVE DOWNED TREE, WHEN WILL THIS BE DONE? If it is somebody else's responsibility, please tell me who.<u></u><u></u></p>
