A Message from Eversource

As part of our everyday effort to deliver reliable energy to our customers and communities, Eversource and our approved contractors will be conducting various activities associated with transmission line maintenance in South Windsor throughout the remainder of this year. Work is expected to take place between the South Windsor and Barbour Hill Substations located on Strong Road and Barber Hill Road, to the Windsor town border near Bissell Bridge, to the East Hartford town border near Main Street and Long Hill Road, to the Manchester town border near Clark Street, to the Vernon town border near Trumbull Lane, and to the East Windsor border near Abbe Road and near Niederwefer Road. Maintaining infrastructure is one of the many ways Eversource supports the safe and secure transmission of electricity throughout the region.

In addition to vegetation maintenance activities recently communicated to you, the scope of upcoming work will include inspections of existing transmission structures both by foot and utilizing drone patrols, replacement of some existing wood structures with new weathered steel structures, as well as the installation of a permanent wetland bridge crossing off Pierce Road. Please note that these work activities will not interrupt electric service to homes or businesses.

For larger undertakings including structure replacement projects, we will follow-up with more detailed project schedules and locations, and also ensure that nearby property owners are being provided with a 1-800 number, an email address, and that our project team performs door-to-door outreach ahead of construction. General work hours will be Monday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 

As part of our ongoing efforts, we may also be speaking with property owners in your community about topics such as securing off-right-of-way access, and if anyone calls with questions about any Eversource transmission work to please let us know and we will follow up promptly.
