Southington, CT Power Outage: Update for October 31

Power:

Our crews have continued to work throughout the night with CL&P trying to open up the remaining 18 roads that were closed due to trees and wires down.  We have succeeded in most but still have 5 or 6 roads that remain closed.  Re-opening roads continues to be our top priority with our CL&P crews this morning. we have had a dedicated CL&P liaison since yesterday at 1:00p and a dedicated crew since 5:00p yesterday.

We are hoping to begin restoration this afternoon but don't have any CL&P crews dedicated to that effort at this time.  We will keep you posted on the restoration of power as information becomes available.
