The Wallingford Electric Division (WED) has been made aware that our customers are receiving collection calls from scammers. These calls originate from an 844 number, and the person(s) are demanding that the account(s) be paid in full to avoid being shut off that day. 

Please note that while the WED does reach out to customers via telephone, the Division does NOT demand payment in full by the end of the day. WED employees are NOT equipped to take payment over the phone. 

- Do NOT give your banking information to anyone claiming to represent the Wallingford Electric Division.

PROCLAMATION: Liberty Tree Day

In 1646, an elm tree planted in Boston became known as the Liberty Tree, serving as a gathering place for colonists resisting British rule. Beginning with the 1765 Stamp Act protests, it became a powerful symbol of American independence and a center for organizing demonstrations. Though British forces cut it down in 1775, its legacy continued through Liberty Trees established throughout the colonies, representing freedom, unity, courage, and the fight for natural rights.

Mayor Cervoni proclaimed August 14, 2026 Liberty Tree Day in our community. We encourage all residents to recognize the significance and role of the "Liberty Tree" in the formation of our country's independence and to rededicate themselves to the principles of freedom under which our country has grown and prospered.
