Storm Recovery Update for Monday, August 10, 2020
Eversource was able to supply tree and line crews to work with our highway department most of the day on Sunday. They were able clear the trees and wires from all remaining closed roads, although some are still one-lane. Drivers are advised to avoid Wolfpits in particular, as cleanup
work continues there.
I will provide an update on current restoration numbers later in the day.

As temperatures are expected to rise, we are opening Bethel Middle School café for use as a cooling center today (Monday) and Tuesday from noon to 8pm. Charging stations will also be available. Masks are required and social distancing rules apply. Custodians will disinfect at regular intervals. Please limit your time to allow others to cool down and charge devices.
