Hague requests National Grid remove dead trees after residents report frequent outages
Summary
A submitted letter and resident comments said Hague has seen more frequent power outages affecting elderly residents and people who rely on medical devices; the town asked National Grid to remove dead and diseased trees around transmission lines to reduce outages.
Town leaders and residents raised alarm about frequent and worsening power outages in Hague and asked the utility operator to take corrective action. The Supervisor read a submitted letter saying the town "is requesting all dead and diseased trees be removed around the transmission lines by National Grid as soon as possible," and linked outages to risks for elderly residents and those who rely on medical devices.
Board members agreed to seek National Grid contact information and to forward the submitted letter to the utility and to follow up with residents about any response. No formal commitment from the utility was recorded in the provided transcript; the board pledged to try to obtain a reply and to report back to concerned residents.
