Power to Manchester Nearly Fully Restored

CL&P projects that all of its 28,651 customers will have their power fully restored by Tuesday night.

At 12:36 a.m. Monday morning, 229 customers in Manchester (or 0.8 percent) remained without power. The midnight self-imposed deadline set by CL&P officials was not met.

This did not come as a surprise, though. Many town officials and residents were hopeful but not optimistic that it would happen. Earlier Sunday evening Connecticut Light and Power Chief Operating Officer Jeff Butler announced that the company would not meet its goal.

During a briefing at the State Armory in Hartford, Butler said, "We have not met our expectations and the expectations we set for you. We have missed our goal. For that, I apologize."

Just after midnight, approximately 61,961, or 5 percent of CL&P customers statewide were without power following the Oct. 29 unprecedented snowstorm. The majority of those customers are in the Farmington Valley and northern Tolland County. 

"We have not given up and have about 2,500 line and tree crews at work," Butler said in a news release issued just before midnight. "We will have 100 percent of our customers who were affected by this storm restored by Wednesday."

More than 220 service crews are working exclusively on reattaching the service wire - the line that runs from the utility pole to a home, according to the release.
