In Branford, Now Most Have Power Restored, Though Not All

BRANFORD, CT — Thousands have had their power restored after being in the steamy dark for days and days. But for the 2 percent of Eversource customers who are still without electricity for closing in on a week, the misery continues. That's more than 225 homes or businesses.

In a statement Monday from First Selectman Jamie Cosgrove, it's noted that, "Restoration efforts continue to move forward, and we expect to see these numbers improve by this evening."

That said, if folks on your block or next door have power and you do not, report your outage again by calling Eversource at 1-800-286-2000.

Curbside collection of tree debris continues

Crews will continue picking up and/or chipping tree limbs left at the curb that are less than 8 feet in length and up to 8 inches in diameter. Small debris, less than 3 feet in length can be placed in trash bags, brown bags or left loose in barrels. These bags or barrels should be placed with your weekly garbage. The collection contractor will pick up 3 bags/barrels/bundles per week.
