Reply to comment by eddie964 in Eversource says CT power outages 'will not be a quick fix': Live updates by Toybasher

I don’t think we need to worry about that.

I’d love to know about money they spent on resiliency. I havent seen them burying lines when the towns tear the roads up.

A million dollars a mile to bury lines, not counting what homeowners will have to spend to bury their service connections. And, buried lines are vulnerable to flooding.

Other municipally owned utilities like bozrah l&p bury lines when the road has to be torn up to repair sewers or lay nat gas pipe.
