As of 5:30 p.m., this evening, repairs effected by Connecticut Light and Power emergency line crews have restored power to 94% of all CL&P customers in Greenwich. Virtually all of the customers who currently remain without electric service are customers who have been without power since yesterday due to smaller localized outages caused in yesterday's storms. These smaller repairs will remain on-going throughout the evening until all customers are restored. CL&P is estimating a 99% restoration rate within a few hours.
With over 90% of electrical service currently restored, the Office of the First Selectman has ordered the local State of Emergency, which had been declared at 10:15 this morning, to be lifted effective at 8:00 p.m. tonight.
Greenwich's Public Safety Agencies would like to extend our gratitude to all of the Townspeople and other citizens who's cooperation helped us manage yesterday's storm event and today's Townwide power outage without loss of life or significant injury to any person. During emergencies, your attention to messages like this one is vital and we thank you for your caution and cooperation.
