Buried power lines raise safety concerns in Bethel

Since Northeast Utilities finished burying 22 miles of high-voltage power lines between Bethel and Norwalk nearly a decade ago, the company has conducted annual inspection reports on the system, which runs through a seismically active area beneath Bethel's school grounds. In December, the company said the annual inspections were no longer necessary and asked the Connecticut Siting Council to discontinue the requirement, a move that prompted quick reaction from town leaders and at least one resident.
