September 17, 1999 -- Unitil (AMEX:UTL) has completed restoration
of power to all its customers affected by the Hurricane Floyd.
The Unitil companies Concord Electric Company, Exeter & Hampton

had a total of 5,734 outages during the evening storm.
During the peak of the storm, 4,600 Exeter & Hampton,

Fitchburg Gas & Electric customers were without power.
Contract crews were released and sent to assist the restoration
effort in the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative service territory.

to call the company to report the problem. However, calling
more than once may tie up phone lines and prevent others from
reporting new outages.
