Bear Island is serviced by NHEC underwater from Cattle Landing, the line leaves Bear on our property and heads over to Mark Island, I would assume it also services Mink Island.
We turn our power off in the winter but they still charge us a $20 per month service fee for the winter month's. I spoke with a rep last year regarding an aging pole on our property, he said they will replace it when it falls down, he also went on to say they don't make any money off the island service and sending repair crews is costly. I believe they only come 2x to read the meter.
We have been there for 3 seasons and have only had a couple of interuptions only lasting a few minutes.
