Letter: Thankful for Unitil

We feel fortunate to have Unitil as our power source. Because of their diligence in having the trees trimmed that might cause power outages, over the past several years we seldom have had to use our generator. The rare occasions where we did, their response time has always been impressive. A good example was Feb. 16, with all the trees bending down from the weight of the ice from the freezing rain. It looked like this would be a long outage but instead the power was restored in an hour. Thanks, Unitil, for the great job you’re doing.
