Central Vermont Public Service said this afternoon that its crews, assisted by about 65 outside contract crews from across the northeast made steady progress today to restore power lost during Wednesday nights thunder storm. CVPS said that of this evening, the going is slow in restoring power to all customers, as each repair is only turning on a handful of customers at a time. As of 4:30 pm, about 240 CVPS customers in Rutland County and 640 customers in Windham County remain without power.
Crews will continue to work through the night. While most will be back on by late tonight, there may be some stragglers, particularly in Windham County without power into tomorrow. Crews will continue to work as quickly as they safely can to get everyone back on, so everyone can enjoy as much of their holiday weekend as possible.
