Newtown seeks info about storm damage from residents, business owners

In an effort to streamline a process for Newtown residents whose property was devastated by the storm, municipal Departments created a one-sheet notice with answers to frequently asked questions.  There is information about the permit application from the building department, notes from the Health District about septic systems and wells, along with contact information for the Newtown Fire Marshal’s Office for questions about in ground oil tanks. 
 
Newtown officials asked for patience as each department will need time to review documents and sign off, but they say every effort will be made to review permits in a timely manner.  They are anticipating an overwhelming amount of applications.
 
Newtown will soon be applying for FEMA financial aid for storm damage sustained last week.  In order to substantiate the claims, town officials are asking residential and business property owners to submit pictures of damage to any structure, along with the address and a brief description of the extent of damage sustained. The information can be emailed to rob.sibley@newtown-ct.gov.  
 
The Transfer Station in Newtown will be open for extended hours Saturday from 7am to 6pm.
