Copied email to Enginnering Dept, not yet answered:
Dear Sir,
First, I apologize if yours is not the right department for this issue. I would appreciate it if you would forward it to the appropriate department.
This morning I was walking my dog on College Ave between Grove and Trumbull, when the dog suddenly cried out in pain and jumped into the street. He would not go back on the sidewalk, and so we crossed the street, but he was unwilling to step on the sidewalk at all, and panted in fear all the way home.
The exact same thing happened last year on two separate occasions with my previous dog, who died this summer. At that time I suspected a voltage leak into the damp sidewalk and called the power company, but never got a response. The fact that this happened again with a different dog suggests that there is indeed a voltage leak.
The area of the sidewalk where this happened is on College Ave between Grove and Trumbull, between the 6th and 7th streetlight, on the cemetery side of the street.
I would appreciate it if you could keep me updated,

Hey David,
It looks like both Emergency Ops and LCI did just that. Woot Woot City of New Haven.
(Love you David :)

@ Streever
You are lost in cyberspace with your comment. This issue was handled correctly. You have an axe to grind with the CAO but you should not use SCF as your platform or soapbox.
Be fair. The truth is the City did the right thing here and u want to talk trash just because you hate the City.
Go ride a bike.
Even Ben put u on blast!

Just to clarify, @Smuts, @EOC or @LCI,
Did this get closed out? What was the response?
Thanks.

Fire Dept responded and made sure there was no apparent immediate threat of a significant stray voltage. UI was then contacted by the NHFD and UI is conducting their stray voltage tests, which should identify if there is even a very low-level stray voltage and where it is coming from if there is. We will post the resolution when we hear back from UI.
"Jane Jacobs" is a designation assigned by SeeClickFix based on how frequently someone comments. My title with the City of New Haven is Chief Administrative Officer.

I just received an email from the site planner's office, forwarding the electrical contractor's confirmation that they had inspected the site, and indeed had found and corrected a mechanical defect that was creating stray voltage on the sidewalk on College(Prospect) Street, beside Grove Cemetery.
Thanks to Malinda Figueroa at the City Engineer's office for starting this chain of actions, and to anyone else on this site who also tried to help.
I am very happy that the problem was found and fixed before anyone (or any companion animal) was seriously injured. Again, thanks to all.
