The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Sept. 1, 2011

Southington decided to open its transfer station Thursday and Friday this last week for homeowners to bring in their “windfall” brush, while Meriden’s transfer station is extending its hours today. That debris has got to go somewhere.

It’s a fact of life: extra work clearing debris and restoring power lines is going to cost someone something somewhere. If CL&P and UI don’t add to customers’ rates, these charges could be covered by Connecticut or federal authorities – ultimately, it will be either ratepayers or taxpayers.
