Lights Out in Pawcatuck
First Selectman says CL&P hasn't been responsive, but spokesman said Saturday the lights will be fixed.
First Selectman Edward Haberek is not satisfied with the CL&P reason for not repairing downtown Pawcatuck street lights. He told Patch the utilities’ claim that vandalism is the issue is irrelevant, if true, because lamps that do not light pose a safety hazard.
But CL&P spokesman Mitch Gross said Saturday that while the vandalism issue with the downtown lights “continues to be a problem,” the lights will be repaired.
“We will repair them again as soon as possible,” he said. Noting that the CL&P Community Relations staff “regularly” speaks with municipal officials.
