“We recognize how difficult it is to be without power, especially with extreme cold and as we approach Christmas,” said President of Eversource Connecticut Steve Sullivan. “We’re at the point of the restoration where the repairs made at one location may only bring back a dozen customers, so the outage numbers won’t be dropping as quickly as they did earlier in the restoration. Our massive team – in the field and behind the scenes – is fully committed to getting power restored to the remaining customers affected by this storm. I personally want to thank the men and women working who gave up their holiday time off with their families to work on this restoration. They’ve done a tremendous job.”
Eversource reminds customers to be cautious when doing their own storm clean up – be careful moving or cutting tree limbs and look for any wires that may be entangled in debris. Additionally, customers should always stay clear of downed wires, report them to 9-1-1 and if using a generator be sure it’s located well away from their home or business and that the transfer switch is working properly. |
