Low flying helicopter in New Milford area does utility work

If you saw a low flying helicopter in the New Milford area over the weekend, you saw utility work being done. 

 

Connecticut Light and Power was using a helicopter to work on some transmission structures on Friday in New Milford, Washington , Roxbury, Woodbury and Watertown.  Some of the work continued into the weekend. 

 

The helicopter was used to attach equipment to the structures in areas where accessing the infrastructure was challenging from the ground.  CL&P had given town officials the helicopter's tail number in case they received any phone calls about the low-flying aircraft. 

 

The work on the structures took about 5 minutes a piece.
