BERLIN, Conn. (WTIC Radio) - With consistently strong winds and heavy rain in the forecast Wednesday into Thursday, Eversource says it's prepared for any outages that come out of the storm.
Part of their plan includes bringing in additional line-workers to assist with power restoration when safe to do so.
Crews are preparing equipment and vehicles and will be in position in advance of the storm so they can quickly, according to the Utility.
“The high winds expected with this storm have the potential to bring down trees and limbs onto electric lines and equipment causing outages and we’re planning accordingly,” said President of Eversource Connecticut Steve Sullivan.
“We’ll have crews in position around the state with a heavy emphasis in the areas expecting the highest winds," Sullivan added, "...so they’re ready to restore power as soon as it’s safe to do so.”
Eversource is reminding customers to report outages on their website or by calling (800) 286-2000.
