We cant shower, washdishes,or even go to the bathroom. This is a 55 and over community with many of us 70 or above.Maybe we should make Eversource wait as long to pay our bill.A better idea would be to deduct a daily rate times how many days we have to wait to get our power back.Eversource is totally unprepared.as usual
