Burland: Thank You, CL&P

"When our houses don't have water we need to leave. I'd rather have fewer leaves if it meant I had to leave fewer times."

Thank you CL&P for your investment in outage prevention. For the past month CL&P has been executing an important power reliability program.

Trimming trees and removing those within 8' of the power lines, especially on major circuits.

While there are opponents in many municipalities, 8' is a reasonable distance still leaving plenty of trees in peoples yards.

It is a very small price to pay for increasing our power reliability.

Especially in a community where the majority of us are served by wells.
