  • The City of Wyoming owns the tree lawn (as part of the public right-of-way) and regulates what is acceptable maintenance. The abutting property owner is responsible for maintenance of the tree lawn.

    Fast FAQs
  • In Wyoming, it is the City that owns these trees.

    Fast FAQs
  • The City is responsible for the selection, purchasing, planting, pruning, removal, and stump-grinding trees in areas with groomed rights-of-ways (vs. brushy ROWs). Abutting property owners are asked to water as needed and prevent damage to these trees, but at this time are not required to do so.

    Fast FAQs
  • The City’s goal is to replace trees in the calendar year after the removal.

    Fast FAQs
  • Yes! Email the Public Works Director with your request.

    Fast FAQs
  • Yes! In areas where the tree lawns are less than three feet deep, pavement conflicts would arise if a large shade tree were planted there. As these sites are identified, the City offers the abutting owner the option of having a tree planted on the private side of the sidewalk. In these arrangements, the City purchases and plants the tree then confers ownership and maintenance responsibility to the abutting property owner. Setback planting programs allow communities to grow larger, more environmentally impactful trees close to the pavement.

  • This varies widely across the country, so comparing one community to another is rarely an apples-to-apples proposition. Over the decades since Dutch elm disease swept across the country necessitating extensive removals, trends are toward more formal programs and dedicated funding. Some communities are even beginning to regard trees as capital assets, thereby moving funding out of the operating budget and aligning it with grey infrastructure investment in sidewalks, curbs, roadways, etc.

    In Wyoming, urban forestry activities are funded through the operating budget along with snow management, seasonal leaf and Christmas tree pick-up, road repairs, facilities maintenance, parks and recreation maintenance, waterworks, and more.

    The Ohio Revised Code permits an assessment based on property value or feet of frontage to be used solely for urban forest management activities. As of 2019, the assessment in Cincinnati is $0.19 per front foot; in Toledo and Cleveland, it is higher. At this moment, Wyoming is not using or considering such an assessment.

  • What is a Public Tree?

    “Public” trees are those owned, regulated, and/or cared for by a government entity — a village, city, township, county, state, etc.

    In Wyoming, OH, public trees include those growing:

    • in the right-of-way along roads (aka ROW or curbside trees)
      • there are approximately 66 curb miles in the City
    • in parks & preserves
      • there are 45.3 acres of active-use parks in the City
      • there are 25 acres of passive-use preserves/green areas in the City
    • on other city land — like the Civic Center, police/fire station, administration building, etc.

  • As is common in communities our size in the Midwest, Wyoming’s Public Works Department cares for public trees. In 2017, one of its long-time staffers attained ISA Certified Arborist® status, signaling the increasing investment the City is making in public trees.

    Some locations – full care

    The City is fully responsible for trees located in managed turf and the landscape beds that surround public buildings and for those trees growing in maintained areas of parks and preserves.

    Curbside trees – shared care

    ROW tree care is a partnership with abutting property owners. There is no ordinance requiring it, but all residents are heartily encouraged to foster street tree health and longevity by watering as needed and working to prevent physical and chemical damage — simple, “act local” tasks. See the “Nurturing” section for tips.

    Similar to the City of Cincinnati, Wyoming bears the greater burden of care for ROW trees — the full cost of purchasing, planting, trunk protection (from buck-rubs), structural pruning, and miscellaneous care throughout the service life of the tree, at which point the tree is removed, the stump is ground out and the cycle starts over with installation of a new tree — tasks best bundled and executed under a unifying strategy.

    Fast FAQs
  • Street trees receive several types of pruning, the authority and responsibility for which lie in different quarters.

    City Activities – Structural Pruning

    In the first decade or so after planting, the City conducts what might be termed “pediatric pruning” — circling past every 2-3 years to make the cuts necessary to achieve both the clearance needed at maturity and establish scaffold limbs with good angles of attachment and spacing. Trees that receive this type of training early in life are less apt to have issues with limb failure due to crowding or failure during storms later in life.

    After the training phase of life, pruning shifts to a 6-year (approx.) maintenance cycle. This allows timely edits as the canopy expands and matures. Research indicates that a 5-7 year cycle is economically justified. If deferred longer, storm damage increases, and the associated cleanup costs not only outweigh the maintenance pruning costs, but trees endure the kind of damage that can shorten service life.

    Most City pruning is done during the winter months when crews are not managing snow and ice.

    Utility Company “Line Clearance” Work

    Setting the stage: Trees planted under utility lines will NEVER look the same as those growing across the street where there are no lines and certainly not like those growing in the landscape. Once you accept that, then the question to ask yourself is, “Is the tree functional? No matter how forlorn it looks in winter, does it cast shade in summer, detain stormwater, clean the air, provide habitat for insects, birds, mammals, and so on?” If you can get your thinking to that point, then you’re ready to read further…

    Compared to a wooden fence post, live wood is a pretty effective conductor of electricity (that’s part of why you shouldn’t stand under a tree during a storm). When limbs are too close to live wires, the current will arc or jump to the tree. During storms, swaying limbs and lines increase arcing, and wet surfaces increase conductivity.

    Utility companies are responsible for preventing outages due to line contact with trees. In the late 1990s, they began working closely with professional and research arborists on techniques like “directional pruning” to achieve this goal without doing unnecessary damage to trees with canopies that embrace the sky at utility levels. Due to the considerable risk of working in proximity to live wires, this work is done by specially trained crews contracted to and operating under the direction of a regional arborist with the local utility.

    In the planning prior to a pruning cycle, our Public Works Director and the City Arborist work with Duke’s regional arborist to ensure contractors don’t exceed the work necessary for the utility to attain/remain in compliance with vegetation management regulations. We understand that shade conserved is power conserved.

    Nevertheless, with increasing constraints on the industry and ever-increasing demand for current, no one should expect trees growing directly under utility lines to look like those growing on the side of the street without utility poles. While there’s no doubt tree appearance immediately after summer clearance work is dismaying, foliage regrows, shade and function return, and the look softens.

    Why does utility clearance seem more aggressive or radical in recent years?

    Short Version

    The higher the voltage carried in the line, the greater the clearance required. As demand in the region increases, higher-voltage lines intrude farther into your neighborhood and trees have to be trimmed farther back.


    Long Version

    Based on voltage and destination, electrical lines on poles are described as transmission, distribution, or drop. None of these lines are jacketed — i.e., unlike the power cord to your microwave, they are not insulated, so current can jump from the line to a grounded object. This can trigger anything from a voltage surge in the home to burns/fires in a tree to outages.

    The higher the voltage, the greater distance a spark can jump or “arc”. Transmission lines carry the greatest voltage, 44,000 to 525,000 volts. These are the lines coming out of electrical substations like those in Hartwell and Finneytown that serve Wyoming. Typically, transmission lines don’t run deep into neighborhoods, but as demand increases, so does the intrusion as is clear along Fleming Road from Winton Road nearly to Morts Pass. Distribution lines carry less voltage, 12,000 to 35,000 volts, and are what are normally seen running through a neighborhood. Drop lines are those that emerge from the base of a transformer on a pole and run directly to your home.

    The risk of contact between lines and limbs increases with sagging, swaying, and moisture. Lines sag due to extreme heat (whether from temperature or electrical load) and under ice loading. Limbs sag due to lush growth, foliage/fruit weight, water retained during rainfall, and ice-loading. Swaying and moisture increase in storms. So, guidelines for clearance cannot be based on what we see under fair weather conditions.

    The historic August 14, 2003 blackout in the Northeast and Midwestern US and Ontario, Canada originated in Northeast Ohio as the result of a transmission line sagging so much due to ambient temperature and current load that it came into contact with a tree canopy in the utility corridor. The cascade of events that followed impacted ~55 million people for periods ranging from a few hours to several days. Check out the Wikipedia page for more information.

    The long-term impact of this blackout emerged in Federal policy and regulations related to service reliability. Enforcement is based on fines that can be levied on the utility companies for failure to maintain service if an outage results from a foreseeable/preventable situation. Check out the Wikipedia page for more information.

    The regulations began to go into effect ~2006/ 2007. At this writing in 2018, this means most areas have seen 2-3 pruning cycles aimed at more aggressive clearance. There’s some indication that to meet and maintain the new reliability standards, pruning cycles are being pushed to 4-5 years from 5-6 years. At the residential level, the net effect is that utility clearance work is more noticeable, but so too is the reduction in outages.

    Fast FAQs
  • Public trees are more than a luxury, they are valuable elements of urban infrastructure like curbs, sidewalks, water mains, fire hydrants, utility poles, sewer pipes, and so on. The services provided by green infrastructure include measurable improvements in air and water quality, diminished urban heat loads, stormwater detention, public health benefits, and more.

    Since “green” infrastructure grows, the benefits derived from the initial investment increase over time, delivering more services with each year that passes (to a point). On the other hand, “grey” infrastructure delivers maximum performance while new and deteriorates with age.

    All infrastructure requires maintenance. Because green infrastructure gains value over time, there’s a return on investment. This is not seen as cash to spend elsewhere in the City budget, but it’s an offset of the need to spend additional funds to achieve the same goal. Ex: Trees that provide “shade over pavement” not only moderate the urban heat island effect, but also detain significant rainfall on leaves, branches, and trunk, reducing the peaks in runoff flow that hit storm sewers and, thus, offsetting funds otherwise required to install and maintain larger storm water handling systems.

Lead Awareness Questions

7
  • A water service line is an underground pipe that connects a home or business to a water main, which carries public water supply. In Wyoming, we have found service lines made of copper, plastic, brass, galvanized steel, and lead. The potential for lead exposure comes from lead or galvanized water service lines. The property boundary typically splits the ownership of the water service line between the owner of the property and the city. This means the city can replace its side of the service line independent of what the owner does. The same applies to the owner.

    Lead Awareness Questions
  • See the map. As you know, there are still many unknown service lines in Wyoming that have not been inventoried. Feel free to check your service line size and material where the service line enters your home. Take a photograph as well and forward your findings to mlippert@wyomingohio.gov. If you need help, feel free to call us at 513-821-0037.

    Lead Awareness Questions
  • 1.    Use cold water for drinking and cooking

    2.    Flush faucets before drinking, especially when they have not been used recently

    3.    Do not boil water to get rid of lead

    4.    Regularly remove and clean faucet screens and aerators

    5.    Buy plumbing accessories that do not have lead (read labels)

    6.    Utilize lead removal filters for your drinking water.  See attachment.

    7.    Reduce other sources of contact with lead such as some paints and dust. Lead paint can be on your walls if your home was built before 1978.


    Lead Awareness Questions
  • Pace Analytical (25 Holiday Drive, Englewood, OH 45322, 937-823-8242) provides lead sampling kits for private residences. Another option is to purchase a home testing kit. “Watersafe Advanced Lead in Drinking Water Test Kit” is available at Walmart and Amazon. Other home testing kits are available as well.

    Lead Awareness Questions
  • Going forward, Wyoming plans to replace all public lead water service lines by 2037.  We encourage all residences to replace their private lead or galvanized water service lines by 2037.  When the City replaces a public water service, we will offer to replace the private portion with costs being passed on to each customer.  There are currently no financial incentives for private service line work, but Wyoming will notify residents if incentives become available in the future.

    Lead Awareness Questions
  • If you didn't receive a letter that means our records show that you do not have any lead pipes leading to your home. 

    Lead Awareness Questions
  • The City of Wyoming Water Works would appreciate if you could update us on your unknown service line size and material.   Feel free to email us at mlippert@wyomingohio.gov with the date, your name, address, private service line size and material with a photograph for verification.  If you are not sure about the material, feel free to contact us via email to the above address (send photo if possible) or contact us at 513-821-8044 to schedule an appointment for us to complete the verification.

    If it is found you have lead, you are not required to replace the private portion of your service line.  However, the Ohio EPA and the City of Wyoming recommend you plan on replacing it to eliminate the possibility of lead exposure.  Currently, there are no financial incentives for this work.

    The City will attempt to verify the material of unknown public service line materials over the next few years and plans to replace any remaining public lead service lines as part of street reconstruction projects going forward.  Furthermore, as your public water system, if you notify us that you are replacing the private portion of a lead service line, we will replace the public owned portion of the service line at no charge if it is found to be lead.

    Summer Camp
  • Campers should bring a refillable water bottle, packed lunch and afternoon snack with them each day.  

    Summer Camp
  • Yes! Campers will swim daily and go through a swim test which will determine what access they have. They will receive a green or red band accordingly but parents always have the option to request a red band for their child and not do the swim test.

    Summer Camp
  • The short answer here is yes, those are our intentions as we understand how vital this convenience is for many of our camp parents. There will be a fee associated with this add on.  

    Summer Camp
  • Yes! We are scheduling field trips as we speak and will go on a variety of field trips. However, we will not go on a field trip every week as we will at times bring enrichment to camp. For weeks when we go on a field trip, there is a $25 field trip fee.  

    Summer Camp
  • Chris Skidmore is the Camp Director and has been overseeing summer day camps for over 18 years.  The summer camp leadership team will consist of (1) Camp Coordinator and (3) Camp Managers. In addition, we will have a staff of roughly (35) camp counselors and (5) CIT's - aka - Counselors in Training. Many attended camp here at the Wyoming Rec Center and bring with them their talents, skills and enthusiasm! They represent a mix of local high school / college students and professionals. Many either plan to be teachers or already are. 

    Summer Camp
  • At Wyoming Recreation, we love summer camp and are counting down the days until summer returns. Our goal is to provide a camp where kiddos can be their true authentic selves in a supportive environment. We encourage creativity and will provide plenty of platforms for our campers to grow. Campers are from a variety of communities so there are plenty of opportunities to see old friends and make new ones! Families will once again have the ability to purchase a concession card for your camper to use at the pool each week.  We will sell these in increments of $25 per card. Each camper will get a camp t-shirt to wear. We are an electronics free camp meaning campers are not permitted to bring their devices to camp (phones, tablets, etc.). Our camp is on a daily schedule that includes sports / games, arts / crafts, leadership / team building, outdoor education and of course plenty of time for exploration. We are fortunate to have an air-conditioned gym on site and (3) turf fields that we will utilize for programming. The pool is connected to the Rec Center as well for an easy walk each day.
