As you may have read before, May is National Electrical Safety Month. Here is another helpful tip from CL&P to make this time of year safe and enjoyable. "Don’t let anyone climb utility poles, towers, pad-mounted transformers or trees near power lines. If your kite should get snagged in power lines or in a tree in which lines might be concealed, don't try to free it yourself. If your pet gets stranded on a pole or if your child’s ball or toy goes into a electric substation, don't try to get them yourself. CL&P customers should call (800) 286-2000."
