Dear fellow Hanoverians:
I have two storm “aftermath” updates (for those of you with power
or smartphones) this afternoon!
First, from the DPW and the Selectman’s Office:
Residents are advised that they can deliver brush to the Ames Way
highway garage brush pile Monday – Friday from 7:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
In addition, the brush pile will be open for the next 4 Saturdays
(9/3, 9/10, 9/17, 9/24) from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We will review the
Saturday schedule for October at the end of September.
We are in the process of driving through every neighborhood and will
dispose of trees that fell into the road that we may have pushed off
to the side during storms. This process will take some time.
And this second message is from the Hanover Fire Department:
As of 6:00 a.m. this morning, there were still approximately 1700
Hanover residents without power. During a conference call with
National Grid, the Fire Department learned that National Grid’s
priorities are to restore the grid infrastructure first. What this
means is that they will be concentrating efforts to restore the main
feeder lines and critical Town infrastructures first. We have been
“lucky” in Hanover; power has been restored to the Police Station,
Fire Headquarters and the Hanover Street well field. Many of our
neighboring communities have not been as fortunate as we have been.
Many have not have power restored to their critical infrastructures.
The men and women of National Grid are working diligently to restore
power to all customers as soon as humanely possible. Please, we are
asking you to be patient during the restoration process.
The Fire Department reminds all citizens to stay safe as the
restoration and clean up continues.
ALL DOWNED LINES – POWER, CABLE, PHONE, etc. MUST BE CONSIDERED TO BE
LIVE!
Many residents are taking advantage of the nice weather to clean up
around homes and businesses. Downed trees, fences and other structures
can pose a danger if in contact with power lines. Use caution as you
remove debris and contact the Fire Department if you see any downed
wires.
