Saturday Morning Power Update – 11/5/2011

Posted by Bob on November 5, 2011 under Daily Blogs | Be the First to Comment

Almost ninety nine (99%) percent of Naugatuck has power, but approximately two hundred thirty eight (238) customers remain without power in isolated areas spread throughout the Borough. A Connecticut Light and Power crew is working in Naugatuck currently on streets on or near Lewis Street and Cold Spring Circle.

A specialized crew is assigned to Nicole Drive to repair the remaining houses serviced by underground lines.

If you remain without power, please report outages directly to Connecticut Light and Power (“CL&P”) at 1-800-286-5000.  While we believe some of the information conveyed by CL&P’s customer service department is unreliable with regard to restoration times, outage reports are recorded accurately in CL&P’s internal system.

Any damage to the exterior connections to individual homes is the responsibility of the homeowner.  CL&P will repair the line to the home, but not any connections attached to the house.  Please call a licensed electrician if this affects your home.

Please contact the Naugatuck Fire Department at 203-720-7082, or 203-720-7083, if you are in need of food, water or transportation to an out-of-town shelter.  Residents may charge cell phone at the Naugatuck Fire Department or Naugatuck Police Department.

We are urging residents to celebrate Halloween trick or treating tonight (11/5/2011) in neighborhoods that have power.  We strongly recommend that parents accompany all children trick or treating and exercise a heightened sense of awareness for downed and/or low hanging wires and downed trees.  The American Legion / Naugatuck Firefighters Parade Halloween Parade will take place tonight (11/5/2011) at 4:30 PM.  Those wishing to participate should assemble in costume at the Naugatuck Savings Bank parking lot at 87 Church Street, Naugatuck,  CT  06770, shortly before 4:30 PM.
