Unitil Issues a Storm Advisory to Customers

In response to any predicted severe weather,  Unitil will closely monitor the situation and will make the necessary preparations to ensure that customers' needs and expectations are met. 

Sometimes severe weather conditions may occur. These conditions may interrupt electric service in some areas.  Most electrical outages are expected to be for relatively short periods of time.  However, severe weather conditions can create substantial damage to the electrical system, and restoration can take an extended period of time.

If customers experience outages, they should report their outage on the web at http://www.unitil.com/outage/index.asp or call Unitil.  This helps identify the location and nature of problems on the system.  The toll free phone number is:

                         NH Seacoast area:  1-800-582-7276

We also advise customers to be prepared.  We recommend they check and inventory the following items before losing power:

-Blankets
-Warm coats, hats and mittens for all family members.
-Flashlights and fresh batteries
-Battery-operated radio and clock
-Containers filled with water and/or bottled water
-Canned or dried food and a manual can opener
-List of important phone numbers
-First aid kit
-Charged cell phone

Additionally, we ask customers to ensure that dryer vents, hot water and boiler exhausts and utility meters are cleared of snow and ice and have ample space to vent.  They should also check to ensure that ice and snow falling from roofs and eaves are cleared and do not damage the vents, exhaust or meters. 

If outages do occur, Unitil personnel will be working around the clock until power is restored.  In addition, we will be providing updated information on storm restoration efforts on www.unitil.com,  to the local media and to public officials on a regular basis.
