In addition to the comprehensive aerial inspections of high-voltage electrical equipment taking place in New Hampshire using a low-flying helicopter to capture close-up images throughout the month of August, Eversource will be conducting infrared helicopter inspections using special heat-sensing imaging equipment this week. These infrared inspections allow the Company to cover vast distances while capturing images not visible to the naked eye.

Outlined below are further details for your reference.

DATES: Tuesday, 8/21/18 to Saturday, 8/25/18           

DESCRIPTION OF AIRCRAFT: Yellow and blue Bell Jet Ranger, Tail# N868JB

FLIGHT TIMES:   7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., weather permitting

Thank you for your patience as we conduct these important patrols.
