Attention Chief Elected Official for WATERFORD
At Eversource, we are dedicated to delivering reliable energy and providing excellent customer service.
Our comprehensive vegetation management program includes year-round tree work to protect the
electric system. This work is needed as day to day trees are the number one cause of outages, especially
during storms in Connecticut.
Statewide, our data shows a continued need for regular tree maintenance due to the challenges posed by
drought, tree disease and more intense storms. A total of 4,339 roadside distribution miles are planned
under the 2026 scheduled maintenance. Eversource’s Vegetation Management team inspects and assesses
trees along these miles prioritizing and performing tree work to maximize reliability for the greatest
number of customers. Included in this mailing is a map of the town with the roads scheduled for vegetation
assessment highlighted. Scheduled maintenance tree work in your town is estimated to begin in January.
Susan Stotts, an Eversource Arborist, will be the point of contact for all aspects of the work in your
community. Susan Stotts can be reached at 860-333-4883. In the coming weeks, our expert Arborists plan
to work closely with community leaders and residents to discuss plans before tree work begins.
Please contact me at 860-665-6149 for any questions regarding Eversource’s vegetation management
program.
Sincerely,
Jenna Turner, Manager of Connecticut Distribution Vegetation Management
