May 18, 2022

A power outage zapped electricity from about 1,000 Eversource customers late Wednesday morning, Eversource representative Chris McKinnon said, though the company’s website counted 1,528 customers out.

The online map identified the outage’s cause as “equipment damage,” with the outage starting at about 11 a.m. today.

Crews are currently out looking for the cause of the outage, McKinnon said. The estimated time of restoration for the outage is 12:45 p.m. today, according to the Eversource website.

The outage was located in the neighborhood near Mill Pond, across the water from Glen Charlie Road.
