Connecticut General Statutes Title 16. Public Service Companies § 16-14. Powers concerning electrolysis or escape of electricity

Any town, city or borough, or any person or corporation maintaining pipes, conductors or other structures under or above ground in the streets or highways, or owning cattle, as defined in section 22-381, may make complaint in writing to the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority of conditions resulting in injury to or destruction of such pipes, conductors, structures or cattle by electrolysis or by reason of the escape of electricity of any public service company or electric supplier. Proceedings shall be had upon such complaint as provided in sections 16-12 and 16-13. After hearing, as therein provided, said authority may make such order as may be necessary to prevent such injury or destruction, and said authority may, at any time thereafter, for cause shown, upon hearing, after notice to all parties in interest, alter any such decision or order. Neither the provisions of this section nor compliance with any order passed pursuant to the provisions hereof shall constitute a defense in an action for damages resulting from electrolysis.
