What the City Is Reporting
According to an update shared with the Naperville City Council following the storm, the scope of the damage is significant:
- The City has received more than 500 service requests since the storm hit.
- Of the 100 streets blocked by downed trees and debris, crews had cleared more than 70 as of the latest update.
- South Naperville along 95th Street saw the highest concentration of damage.
- Electric Utility tree crews worked overnight and continued clearing storm-related service requests in the days after, including hazards like branches that fell directly onto energized transformers.
- The City is coordinating with contractors to schedule a special citywide brush pickup, though contractor availability is expected to be limited given the demand across the region.
If you haven't already, report any downed trees or storm debris on your property through the City's Public Works Request Center. Crews are triaging requests in order, so the sooner it's reported, the sooner it's in the queue — but with hundreds of requests already logged, city crews are stretched thin.
Why You Shouldn't Wait on a Downed or Damaged Tree
A tree that's split, leaning, or hung up in another tree after a storm is not a wait-and-see situation. Storm-damaged trees are unpredictable — a limb that looks stable can fail hours or days later, especially with more wind or rain in the forecast. And as this storm showed, downed limbs can land on power lines and energized equipment, turning a cleanup job into a serious safety hazard.
With city crews and contractors in high demand right now, response times across the area will be longer than usual. If a tree is threatening your home, your driveway, or a power line, don't wait in line behind hundreds of other requests — call a professional tree service directly.
