NYSEG is currently estimating that all power will be restored in Bedford by 11pm Wednesday, November 7th. We realize this is VERY frustrating but please know that we are working very hard to try and get more accurate information.
Although the National Guard is here to work with our DPW crews, NYSEG has only dedicated 1 crew to our municipality. We know there are many more crews here but they are not communicating with the Town. Con Ed currently has 670 homes without power in Bedford. VOTING will carry on as always, 6AM to 9PM at your normal polling location. Any questions, call the Town Clerk's Office, 666-4534.
