Official Text

That a Representative from Eversource appear before this City Council to address reports alleging that on October 16, 2020, Eversource Gas contractors entered 20 Berkeley Street and caused significant electrical damage, and that the emergency repair personnel contacted by Eversource to fix this damage did not wear masks, and at least one subsequently tested positive for COVID-19, and that Eversource has thus far not agreed to full compensation for the lost wages due to required quarantine period.
