Eversource to Work on Gas Project in Downtown Meriden

April 20, 2015

Dear Neighbor, as part of its everyday effort to deliver reliable energy and superior customer service, Eversource Energy has scheduled construction work in your neighborhood. This work will help maintain the reliability of our natural gas distribution system.

Reliability Improvements in Your Neighborhood: Eversource will be working along specific downtown roadways in Meriden, Connecticut, to install gas main that will improve reliability of the gas system.

Starting the week of April 20, 2015, Eversource will be installing 1.5 miles of up to 12-inch gas main. Below is a list of the following streets that will be impacted and the dates: -West Main Street - From Colony Street to Cook Avenue; starting 5-4-15 thru 7-31-15; -East Main Street - From State Street to Pratt Street; starting 4-20-15 thru 8-31-5; -Colony Street - From West Main Street to Cross Street; starting 4-20-15 thru 8-31-1; -Brooks Street - From Colony Street to State Street; starting 4-20-15 thru 8-31-15; -State Street - From Brooks Street to Park Street; starting 4-20-15 thru 8-31-15; -Pratt Street - From East Main Street to Center Street; starting 4-20-15 thru 8-31-15; -Cedar Street - From Pratt Street to Park Street; starting 4-20-15 thru 8-31-15 ; -Park Street - From Cedar Street to State Street; starting 4-20-15 thru 8-31-15;

If you are a current Eversource gas customer, upon completion of installing the main, we will need to connect the natural gas service line from your home or business to the new gas main system. This will require a temporary disconnect of your service, which should take just a few hours. You will be contacted in advance to schedule an appointment for this work.

What You Can Expect: Our construction work is likely to involve the following: Crews will work Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.; There will be two crews working at multiple sites along the route until the project is complete; There will be construction vehicles, including heavy equipment; Police officers or flagmen will oversee traffic control; Excavation activities may create one-lane passage along affected roads; We will maintain access to residences and businesses, as well as priority passage of emergency vehicle traffic through construction areas.

Work will take place primarily during daylight hours. The entire project is estimated to continue through the end of August 2015. The construction schedule is subject to change due to weather and other unexpected circumstances.

Our Commitment to You: We will do our best to minimize any inconvenience caused by this project. Thank you in advance for your patience as we work to improve reliability for our customers.

Keeping the lines of communication open is an important part of our work in your community. If you have any questions, please contact me directly at 203-592-3494 or email me at david.hatfield@eversource.com.

Sincerely, David Hatfield, Project Manager, Eversource Energy
