Beacon Light Bulbs
 Groton
Utilities is promoting Emergency Beacon light bulbs at cost in
conjunction with Public Power Week. Customers can purchase the
bulbs for $6 each. The Emergency Beacon normally retails for
$19.95.
In a related part of the program, Groton Utilities said it
would be offering the Emergency Beacon lights free to all
customers on life support systems.
“We are a safety conscious utility with our employees, and it
is only appropriate that we emphasize safety with our
customers,” Alfred C. Dion, General Manager of Customer Care,
said in announcing the Emergency Beacon program.
Each October, public power communities like the City of
Groton, celebrate and promote the advantages of owning and
operating a community utility. “This is the time to demonstrate
how Groton Utilities is at the community’s service and providing
value to its customers,” Dion emphasized. Groton Utilities is
one of 2,000 municipally owned and operated electric utilities
in the country.
With the double flick of a switch, the Emergency Beacon can
assist 911 responders in finding a residence faster during a
crisis. Under normal use this 60-watt bulb works like an
ordinary light bulb. But in an emergency, the customer simply
turns the light switch twice (on-off-on) and it instantly
becomes a flashing signal for help. The Beacon pinpoints the
location of the crisis and helps emergency personnel reach the
scene more quickly, day or night.
The Emergency Beacon light will be sold on a first-come,
first-serve basis and as long as the supply lasts. Customers are
reminded that they must be able to show proof that they are
Groton Utilities customers and therefore eligible for the
special $6 price. It is recommended that customers bring a copy
of a recent utility bill when purchasing the lights.
Customers can purchase the light bulbs at the Customer
Care Center at 295 Meridian Street during normal business
hours: Mondays through Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m., Thursdays from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m., and Saturdays
from 8am until noon except for holidays.
