Folks who have lived in downtown Wolfeboro for decades have been accustomed to very few power outages. On the rare occasion the power did go out, the duration was very short. Even during the big ice storm of 1998, we lost power for only 15-20 minutes, tops.
But in recent months, we have endured multiple outages lasting hours, and winter hasn't even officially started yet.
Earlier this year, our municipal electric department proudly announced a rate cut of up to 18%. But, repairing the damage from frozen plumbing due to a power outage would wipe out any cost savings.
What has changed? And, am I the only person who would happily forego a (temporary) rate dip in order to regain the reliable power supply we used to enjoy?

Lower Wboro electric rates = more/longer power outages???
