Newtown First Selectman Dan Rosenthal says a dozen homes have been condemned due to damage from last week’s storm.  10 homes in the Lakeview Terrace area were condemned, along with two in the Lake Zoar area.  Rosenthal says some of them may be reconstructed. 

In Newtown, a number of electric transformers were damaged.  In the case of transformer fluid leaks, Eversource is using environmental crews to clean up appropriately.  First Selectman Dan Rosenthal says some properties were spared, others were devastated and some are somewhere in between.  There are just scattered outages remaining a full week after the macroburst and tornadoes tore through the Greater Danbury area. 

As residents move forward to get their lives back on track, he is offering some useful municipal service reminders.  The Building Department can address structural questions, Newtown Social Services can discuss food, utility, home supplies and connection to other support services.
