64% Of Eversource Customers in Willington Are Still Without Electricity

From the Town of Willington:

August 6, 2020

The current Eversource outage map has 1,906 (64%) Willington customers out of power as of 2:00 P.M. today and they have not indicated when crews will be working in Willington.

Town Unified Command met with Eversource this morning to go over the road closure list to better prioritize how to clear the roads and restore power as safely and quickly as possible, but were not given any specific date when all power will be restored.

Willington Public Works crews have been working as diligently as possible to clear roads that do not involve power lines; only Eversource can deal with power line issues and restoring power.

Click here for a list of roads we are aware of that are closed or partially blocked. This list is changing hourly and may not be complete, but is a snapshot of what we know as of today, Thursday, August 6, 2020 at 2:00 P.M. This list captures the closest road to the blockage and/or the power outage cause, and is therefore not pinpoint accurate. If you feel that your road is not on this list, and you are aware of downed power lines or an obstruction such as a tree blocking a road, please dial 911.

Please remain safe, and we appreciate your patience as the Town and Eversource work through this response effort.

We will be sending out updated information as it is made available to us.
