Big power outages reported in Newtown, warming centers opened

The ice-encased tree limbs and utility wires were too heavy to hang on in some places in Newtown and during the height of the cold yesterday, there was about a quarter of the town without power.  Eversource focused on a large outage in the area of Route 34 that was responsible for about half of the reported outages.  There were 80 total outage locations reported yesterday throughout Newtown. 

Eversource said they have seen customers using aluminum ladders to remove ice from trees near power lines.  Officials caution against this dangerous activity. 

The Newtown Municipal Center, located at Fairfield Hills will be open today from 9am to 5pm as a Warming Station/Cell phone/electronic equipment charging and WiFi.  The Newtown Senior Center is open 9am to 5pm.
