Working to clean up after the Derecho Storm

August 11, 2020 RE: Clean up After the Derecho Storm on Monday, August, 10th  Dear Residents, We are actively working to locate an available tree service company. At this time, we do have a company reserved and scheduled for Thursday if we can not find another to come sooner. As you are aware, phone service is still spotty and many companies are very hard to reach or their voicemail is full. Thank you to everyone who came out to help John clear the roads on Monday night. We expect Alliant Electric to be out to the community soon to review the safety of our power lines. Our electrician is waiting to hear back from them to come do what he can do. If you smell natural gas please call MidAmerican:  1-800-595-5325 If you see a downed power line, do not go near it , call Alliant at: 1-800-255-4268   Thank you for your patience in this trying time, Edgewood Forest Management & Ownership
