Public Hearings To Be Held In New Canaan, Westport, Fairfield & Greenwich

Senator Toni Boucher (R-26) is urging constituents to attend one of the public hearings being held to give Fairfield County residents the opportunity to comment on the response of the state’s two largest electric utility companies during and after the March 13th – March 14th storm.

Governor M. Jodi Rell recently announced that public hearings will be held as part of an investigation being conducted by the state Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) and the state Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security. The investigation will focus on complaints about the actions of Connecticut Light & Power Co. (CL&P) and United Illuminating Co. (UI) regarding their response to the storm.

Public hearings will be held at:

  • New Canaan Town Hall
    Wednesday, April 7, 2010
    6: 30 p.m.

  • Westport Town Hall

    110 Myrtle Avenue
    Monday, April 12, 2010
    6:30 p.m.

  • Fairfield Town Hall
    725 Old Post Road

    6:30 p.m.

  • Greenwich Town Hall
    101 Field Point Road
    Thursday, April 15, 2010

Those unable to attend a public hearing may call the Consumer Representative hot line at (800) 382-4586 or fill out a comment form on the DPUC’s web site at www.ct.gov/DPUC. All of the public comments will become a part of the formal record for this case.
