Eversource Power Maint 2/23 9-2pm Welch /Gilford area

I received a text that it is back on as of 12:10 pm today.

We walked out to Welch today and talked to Eversource at Glendale. They had a tracked vehicle getting ready to take a combined crew of linemen and tree guys out to Welch. I said that I had received the phone call of a pending outage. There was a very tall tree part way down leaning just above the power lines behind #56 Welch. I said that I had the makings of coffee in my pack and would see what happened.

When we got to Welch they had just got there and had to make another trip in for gear and the tree guys. The crew chief said that we would have time to make the coffee. Just as the coffee finished brewing he came to the door to make sure we were all set prior to pulling the power. Rather considerate I would say.

While there they walked the north branch to see if there were any other problems, don't know if they also walked the south branch.
