Nov 3 Killingworth Update after Hurricane Sandy

We had good progress last night, and we are down to about 300 customers without power. The largest group is on lower Chestnut Hill /Bar Gate / Running Brook, and that circuit, which comes in from Madison, is on the priority list for today. Cl&P's official projection is that restoration will be substantially completed in Killingworth by 6:00 a.m. on Monday morning.

The shelter at the HK Middle School is open today until 4:00 p.m. for warm showers, water, and recharging.

The Transfer Station is open until 2:00 p.m. today and will accept brush.

Governor Malloy has issued a warning about Disaster Assistance Scams:

"Governor Dannel P. Malloy, Attorney General George Jepsen and Department
of Consumer Protection Commissioner William M. Rubenstein are warning
Connecticut residents to be aware of potential scams in the coming days and
weeks, especially ones in which scammers offer to help people get disaster
assistance from FEMA.

“Residents should always request photo identification and read the fine print if the
person is at their front door, and if it’s over the phone, then people need to
be even more careful,” Governor Malloy said. “Unfortunately, the damage caused
by Storm Sandy has left many homeowners, renters, and business owners
vulnerable to fraudulent offers of help.  To anyone who is caught trying
to gouge or scam people in Connecticut in any way, I want to be clear – we will
find you, and we will make sure you are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law.”
