Roughly 250 Still Without Power

The town has closed the while about 200 customers in town are still without power.

crews have been working for the last two days to restore power to most of the community.

"We had to send the nine crews we have working in town home for the night last night," said SELCO communications manager Jackie Pratt. "They had worked for 30 hours straight and they needed to take a break and sleep, so they could continue to work today."

Crews are continuing to work on Main Circle, Main Boulevard and the Millwood/Pondview area, Pratt said.

"We're just asking customers to be patient—we're trying to restore the neighborhoods first and then if you are the only one on your street without power, we ask that you go somewhere else like a friend's, a neighbor's or family member's house until tomorrow," she said. "The crews are working as hard as they can."

Some residents have dropped by baked goods for the SELCO workers.

Pratt said the damage from the Snowtober storm was the leaves on the trees along with the unfrozen ground.

"People lost huge trees because with the weight of the snow, the trees just came down," she said. "In the ice storm of 2008, mostly the higher elevations were affected, but this storm was a lot more widespread."

To report a power outage, call SELCO at 508-841-8500. If you have already reported an outage, you are on the list, Pratt said.
