Power To The People?

“06880” has learned that CL&P will not restore power to areas that have been flooded until each house is inspected and certified — by a licensed electrician — that power can be restored to that home.

Once an electrician has certified the home can have power restored, it will be added to a list.

Certification should be prominently displayed on the front door or other highly visible place. The homeowner should also have a copy.

The reason for the caution is the danger of fires breaking out in uninspected homes once power returns.
