Emergency Management Update 8/6/2020

Power crews are in town currently working on Burt Hill RD with hopes of having power restored there by tonight. Power is still out on Jeff Miller RD and we are in contact with Eversource to get that rectified as soon as possible. Rivers RD has reopened at this time but there is still a broken pole. Eversource crew worked there last night and secured the broken pole and dropped off a new pole for the crew to install. There is no ETA on that yet.

The Tolland DPW is continuing to work on storm damage cleanup, working with and around power line crews. This will take multiple days to complete. Because of the extent of the damage in surrounding towns, no help is expected at this time for our crew. The DPW has been working out straight for the last few days between the tornado and the tropical storm.

For anyone who is without power, there are exterior faucets at the Town Hall and the Public Safety Complex if you need water. There are exterior outlets at the Tolland Public Library for charging devices. There are also exterior outlets at the Public Safety Complex but please use only the ones at the back of the building being sure to leave all safety equipment bays unblocked.

Thank you for your patience and support
