Community customers will save money, access new rates and products, choose how much renewable electricity to buy, and have the option to enjoy the benefits or opt out if you choose to.
To choose a different supply option (Opt. up) use the online portal or call 1-866-603-POWR.  Have your Eversource account number ready so they can easily process your selection.
To opt out use the online portal or call 1-866-603-POWR.  Have your Eversource account number ready so they can easily process your request.
Net metering solar customers who have questions should call 1-866-603-POWR.  Have your account number ready.
If you buy electricity from a third-party supplier you will not be enrolled in Cheshire Community Power unless you opt in now or in the future.  Be sure to double check for early termination fees or penalties from your current supplier if you decide to do this.

The Town Offices are located in the Old Brick Schoolhouse, in the center of the Village. This was active as a school until 1946. It has been retrofitted to accommodate the modern day needs of small town government, but still holds considerable charm within. The Selectmen, Town Clerk, and Town Administrator all conduct their business here, as do other town boards unless a public hearing requires the larger space of the Town Hall next door.

Please click on the appropriate links to the right for more information about individual town boards.

 


Edie Drinkwater is the town’s executive administrative assistant. She can answer any questions you might have about how the town office works, and she can provide information about building permits, and other items requiring town interaction or approval.
