CL&P: Customers in Southeastern Connecticut Won't See Power Restoration for 24 Hours or More

Mitch Gross said access to roadways to make repairs and the coordination of that effort is the issue.

 

Following a routine call to Mitch Gross, CL&P Spokesman, Patch learned that customers in southeastern Connecticut without power can expect to be that way for 24 hours or more.

“You are the first one -- I’m telling; this just came out. Some sections of Southeastern Connecticut may not have power for 24 hours or longer. The amount of work that needs to be done and the (issue of) access to get to that work, is the problem. Roads must be opened so we can get in and assess damage," Gross said.
