A top United Illuminating official said Monday afternoon that his company is concerned about the Mill River substation — and the 14,000 New Haven customers who rely on it for power.
Speaking at the governor’s noon press conference, the official, UI Vice-President Anthony Marone III (pictured), said at this point his company doesn’t see a need to de-energize the plant.
But he said the company is concerned and keeping a close eye on it as waters rise on the Mill River at the next high tide. The station powers the downtown area.
