UPDATE: CNG Continues to Restore Service; Berlin Gas Outage Repaired

Updated: 10:50 a.m.

CNG is reporting that approximately 15 streets in Berlin, mostly in the area of Lower Lane, Hudson Street, Worthington Ridge and neighboring side streets are without gas service due to a frozen regulator.

The regulator has been repaired. However, CNG must now go to each customer and turn their meter off, recharge the line then relight any pilot lights. The maximum service outage is 417 customers.

Meanwhile, the town has opened McGee Middle School, 899 Norton Rd., as a warming center for affected residents.

It is recommended that at least one family member remain home to allow CNG access into your residence to complete their service. CNG also will have a representative at McGee School for anyone who cannot leave someone home.
