Utility Regulations Little Problem To Father With Son-Typist
Roderick Fletcher of Fletcher Electric Co. in Southwick, near the Connecticut border, faced PUCA regulation after 45 years of operating without it. The small utility serves about 300 residents along Congamond Lakes, with two sons handling operations and billing while the father acts in advisory capacity. He says the paperwork is manageable and that rates stay close to nearby utilities, noting his son’s typing skill eased the anticipated burden.
