Chops Point residents not satisfied with CMP’s solution to tower lights complaints

TIMES RECORD • October 11, 2020

After fielding complaints about the aircraft-warning lights that top the tower, Central Maine Power installed a radar system to keep the lights off except when an aircraft comes near the towers. That radar system was switched on last week. CMP Project Manager Jenna Muzzy said the tower lights will remain off 70% to 80% of the time, but they will come on automatically in poor weather, such as heavy rain and snow. “In the fog, rain and dark, the lights are horrendous,” said Curt Fish of Woolwich. “It’s the worst health impact we have in our house. It causes migraines.”
