Power Crews Working On 2 Main Outages

As of noon Wednesday, there were two main electricity feeder lines still out in East Greenwich, according to Town Manager Bill Sequino. One of the lines is near the high school and the other is on Frenchtown Road. 

Power restoration crews arrived in town Wednesday morning, able to get to work only once all the trees tangled in power lines had been removed.

Sequino said there are 475 households without power in the area near East Greenwich High School and another 900 without power in Frenchtown. Small outage pockets exist as well.

National Grid is estimating the major lines will be repaired by Thursday, with the smaller outages fixed by Friday.

"People are extremely frustrated," he said, but he noted, "Today should be a major improvement day."
