Eversource is conducting aerial inspections of its high-voltage electric equipment and lines in Connecticut. This annual inspection involves the use of a helicopter flying low over transmission lines to detect any potential equipment issues before system reliability is impacted.
Weather-permitting, the aerial inspections will continue through December 15th between 9 am and 4 pm, covering several Greater Danbury area municipalities. The cities and towns include Bethel, Bethlehem, Brookfield, Danbury, Monroe, New Milford, Newtown, Oxford, Redding, Ridgefield, Roxbury, Washington, Watertown, Wilton and Woodbury.
The aircraft being used for the inspections include a blue and silver helicopter (tail # N1431W) and a blue and white helicopter (tail # N411DD).
