Please be aware that the list changes from time to time as conditions improve or new problems arise. This list was updated at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday morning. As of this posting we have 835 Eversource customers without power. The company is on site at most of the most impacted locations and will be adding to the work crews throughout this morning.
Please use caution when moving about the town. Always assume any wire down is 'live'. Call 911 for any emergency. Phones at Public Works have been knocked off-line so any new information should be called into the general switchboard at 203-270-4200.
