About 70 Eversource customers in New Fairfield remain without power as of 6am Wednesday morning.  55 of those outages are on Candlewood Isle, one of the hardest hit neighborhoods. 

The emergency shelter at New Fairfield High School will be open from 4:30pm until 7:45  for showers, but it will not serve meals.  The Senior Center is open 9am to 4pm, and will also not be serving meals. 

New Fairfield has started collecting damage assessment for submission to FEMA. To qualify for reimbursement, documentation of at least 3 million dollars in damage town wide must be submitted.  New Fairfield employees will be assessing damage throughout town, but residents are also asked to send photos and copies of repair estimates, including for tree removal. 

Information can be sent to nfstormdamage@newfairfield.org and include name, address, phone number, if the home is accessible, the cause of damage (tree,flooding, wind, etc), insurance and a detailed description of damage.
