Congressman Bill Keating says NStar needs to do a better job when it comes to providing customers with restoration times.

During a press briefing after the tour, Keating said it’s vital for customers to know when their power will be restored. “The frustration, which I share about NStar, is the level of public information that they are sharing with the public. People worried if their pipes are freezing would like to know if the service is estimated two or three days. That would help make a decision for them about sealing off the water,” Keating said. Keating said he spoke with children of elderly parents who were having difficulty convincing them to move to a shelter. Keating said if those individuals knew they would …

NStar was fined $4 million in responses to Tropical Storm Irene and the October 2011 snowstorm, but already announced it plans to appeal.
The state on Tuesday ordered a total of $24.8 million in penalties to utility companies for their response to storms in 2011.

NSTAR says power was be restored at 3 p.m.
NSTAR officials say power was restored at 3 p.m. today. ---- A lightning strike knocked out power to 1,700 customers in Plymouth this morning and shut down the Manomet Transfer Station. "This is a very labor-intensive repair work because several hundred feet of wire need to be replaced and the location where we are working is extremely difficult to access due to the rugged terrain," NSTAR spokesman Caroline Pretyman said. Eight crews are working on repairs and Pretyman said power should be restored around 3 p.m. Manomet Transfer Station is only taking white items at this time, such as refrigerators and TVs. All other items are being accepted at Cedarville Transfer Station.
