Bozrah Light & Power
Customer Alert
Groton Utilities has received complaints about telephone calls to our customers
on subjects like energy conservation offerings and attempts
to get you to switch utility companies. Please be advised
that Groton Utilities is NOT conducting
any customer surveys or telemarketing at this time.
Most importantly, if Groton Utilities contacts
you directly, we will always identify ourselves at the
outset of the telephone call.
These telephone calls are apparently directed toward
current Connecticut Light & Power and United Illuminating
customers. The company making the telephone calls is apparently
using a master data base with the 860 telephone pre-fix.
Therefore, these phone calls have been randomly made to
our customers.
If you receive these phone calls, simply identify yourself
as a Groton Utilities customer. In most cases, the caller
will then end the phone call.
About Us
The Bozrah Light and Power Company (BL&P) became
a part of the Groton Utilities family of services on May
5, 1995. Groton Utilities purchased the former privately
owned utility. BL&P is operated as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Groton Utilities and is now a part of the
country’s public power community which includes some 2,000
municipally owned and operated utilities across the nation.

What is the big plug now found on such
appliances as hair dryers?
|
 |
It is either an appliance leakage
circuit interrupter, an immersion detection
circuit interrupter, or a ground fault circuit
interrupter. They work in different ways, but
are all intended to shut off the power to an
appliance under an abnormal condition such as
immersion of the appliance in
liquid. | | |

BL&P serves 3,000 customers, including all of the
Town of Bozrah, Gilman, and parts of Lebanon, Franklin,
Montville, and Salem.
BL&P has an aggressive economic development program and vast
areas of commercial and industrial zoned land.
The Southeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce selected Groton
Utilities as the recipient of an award for economic development for
its acquisition of the Bozrah Light and Power Company. The award,
which was for companies with more than $10 million in sales, cites
Groton Utilities for “...opening new markets, making capital
investments, creating new jobs, and providing continued growth in
business.”
