Hearing set for October on Newtown, Ridgefield storm experiences

Ridgefield and Newtown have been successful in their motions filed with the Public Utility Regulatory Authority earlier this month.  Ridgefield received Participant status in the PURA investigation into Eversource’s preparation for and response to the Tropical Storm. 

First Selectman Rudy Marconi says there are two concurrent paths that require information from residents regarding their experiences.  Part one investigates the preparedness and response, while the other calls for additional enforcement orders and civil penalties as appropriate (established as Docket 20-03-02RE01). 

Information gathered from officials and residents of Newtown and Ridgefield will be presented at a hearing on October 21st and 22nd.  Ridgefield residents are asked to submit a timeline of their outage, interactions and restoration to pura.executivesecretary@ct.gov or pura.information@ct.gov and reference Docket No. 20-08-03 and copy selectman@ridgefieldct.org by October 16. 

The motion was filed to compel Eversource to undertake additional and  immediate restoration, communicate with the Office of Emergency Management, identify additional resources, provide detailed  estimates for restoration efforts, to follow the approved Emergency Restoration  Plan (ERP) and to comply with obligations under its ERP.
