>> Yesterday's storm damaged a major transmission line responsible for the delivery of electric power to the Town of Greenwich.  The damaged transmission line failed completely at approximately 10:00 am this morning, Monday August 6th, 2012.  In response to the townwide power emergency, the First Selectman declared a state of emergency at 10:15 a.m. today and the municipality has opened it's Emergency Operations Center.  At this juncture, Connecticut Light and Power representatives have advised the Town that repairs will take 6 to 8 hours.  To avoid further power problems, CL&P must restore power to the Town by sections in a process which may take an additional 2 to 4 hours.

>> During the power outage, many traffic control signals may not be operating.  Metro-North trains are currently not operating west of the Cos Con RR station.  Residents are encouraged to use extra caution when traveling.  Any business or residence that utilizes the municipal sewer system can help us by conserving water to the greatest extent possible to reduce the strain on the municipal sewer pump stations and treatment plant.

>> In the event of an emergency, please contact police headquarters by dialing 911.  An additional message will be broadcast via this system if power is not restored in the anticipated timeframe or if other important information becomes available.
