Downed tree limbs on private property are the responsibility of the property owner, according to the city. However, a temporary brush recycling location will be opened in the coming weeks, and residents will be able to request free brush pickup. City transportation crews are working to keep streets clear and will remove tree limbs blocking roadways. These can be reported by calling 512-688-0398.
Residents are asked not to approach any downed power lines as they can pose significant safety risks. If a downed power line is found, reports can be made by calling 1-888-313-4747 if the situation is not an emergency, according to the city. If the downed power line is causing fires to nearby structures, is laying on a home or is fully down, reports may be made to 911.
