Eversource is currently conducting aerial inspections of high-voltage electrical equipment on rights of way throughout Connecticut, according to a February 22 media advisory from the energy provider.

The semiannual inspection is an important part of the company's ongoing commitment to providing reliable electric service, the statement continued. The work involves the use of a helicopter equipped with heat-sensing, infrared scanning technology that can detect potential equipment issues before they occur.

Aerial inspections began the week of February 22 and will continue through February 28. Weather permitting, flights will take place between 8 am and 4 pm.

Residents can expect to see a blue and silver helicopter, tail #N1431W.

The helicopter will be following utility rights of way covering dozens of Connecticut cities, including Newtown, Bethel, Brookfield, Danbury, Middlebury, Monroe, Orange, Redding, Ridgefield, Roxbury, Shelton, Wilton, and Woodbury.
