More than 500 Eversource customers in New Canaan without power after Nor'easter
More than 500 Eversource customers in New Canaan, Connecticut, remained without power at 1:45 p.m. Sunday, after a Nor'easter that pounded the shoreline starting Friday brought down branches and utility lines in the town. The figure is about 5.9 percent of all customers, an improvement over the 940 Eversource customers who were without power as of 9:30 a.m.
Emergency Management Director Russ Kimes III said in a townwide outcall on Sunday morning that most of those 940 customers were along South Avenue. Kimes said the remaining outages, per Eversource's website, appeared widely scattered, which he said may result in a prolonged restoration period.
Kimes said emergency responders oversaw downed trees, branches and wires on Marshall Ridge, Country Club, Cascade and Toquam Roads, as well as Wahackme Lane. He said downed lines should be treated as if they were live wires and that barricades or police tape blocking roads with downed wires should not be removed.
Some businesses downtown, including the New Canaan Racquet Club, also reported power outages.
New Canaan and all of southern Fairfield County remained under a Hazardous Weather Outlook issued by the National Weather Service on Sunday. Outages can be reported to Eversource.
