Council approves three Eversource 'grant of location' requests to add short conduit runs for new service connections
Summary
The Somerville City Council held public hearings and approved three Eversource requests to install conduit on Aldersy Street, Hinckley Street and Glenwood Road to provide electric service to new or renovated addresses.
The council opened public hearings on three grant‑of‑location petitions from Eversource to install short runs of conduit to provide electric service at specific addresses. Jackie Duffy, speaking for Eversource, explained each request: 10 feet of conduit on Aldersy Street to serve 17 Aldersy Street, 40 feet of conduit on Hinckley Street to serve a new 4‑unit building at 35 Richardson Street, and 104 feet of conduit in Glenwood Road to serve 72 Glenwood Road.
No members of the public opposed the petitions. After each hearing the council closed the public portion and approved the three grants of location. These approvals allow Eversource to perform the described utility work along municipal ways; the hearings recorded the requests and the council’s assent.
Outcomes: all three location grants were approved by the council at the meeting; the votes were routine approvals taken following public comment and staff presentation.
What to watch next: scheduling and permitting details will be handled by Eversource and city public‑works staff; the council’s approval authorizes the work to proceed subject to standard municipal permitting and coordination.
