Storm Debris and Cleanup Safety Reminder
In the wake of the October snow storm, there is a tremendous state-wide effort under way to remove tree and brush debris. The Town of Wilton is no exception.
The Town of Wilton and CL&P reminds all contractors and residents to stay safe and stay at least ten feet away from all electrical equipment while conducting storm clean-up. Trees or branches that come in contact with electrical wires can become energized. Anyone working on storm clean-up should be aware of their surroundings at all times and stay clear of any electrical equipment.
Homeowners removing trees on their property should work with licensed tree professionals and must be cautious of overhead equipment. While CL&P is not responsible for trimming trees around the homeowner's service wire, we may de-energize the service wire or provide cover-up so tree removal can be completed safely. To request this service, please call CL&P at 800-286-2000.
