Official Text

To the Honorable Board:

In response to Agenda Item 205009:

That the City Engineer not issue any street opening permits for gas work by Eversource, excluding emergency work, until an adequate description of the work to be performed is prepared by Eversource in coordination with the Director of Engineering, prior to the issuance of any such permits.

In cooperation with the Engineering and Communications Departments, Eversource has produced an improved communications plan and boilerplate communications. Please see attached Engineer's Report for details, and contact me if I can be of further assistance.
