Dear fellow Hanoverians:
\nI have two storm \u201caftermath\u201d updates (for those of you with power
\nor smartphones) this afternoon!
\nFirst, from the DPW and the Selectman\u2019s Office:
\nResidents are advised that they can deliver brush to the Ames Way
\nhighway garage brush pile Monday \u2013 Friday from 7:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
\nIn addition, the brush pile will be open for the next 4 Saturdays
\n(9\/3, 9\/10, 9\/17, 9\/24) from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We will review the
\nSaturday schedule for October at the end of September.<\/p>\n
We are in the process of driving through every neighborhood and will
\ndispose of trees that fell into the road that we may have pushed off
\nto the side during storms. This process will take some time.<\/p>\n
And this second message is from the Hanover Fire Department:<\/p>\n
As of 6:00 a.m. this morning, there were still approximately 1700
\nHanover residents without power. During a conference call with
\nNational Grid, the Fire Department learned that National Grid\u2019s
\npriorities are to restore the grid infrastructure first. What this
\nmeans is that they will be concentrating efforts to restore the main
\nfeeder lines and critical Town infrastructures first. We have been
\n“lucky” in Hanover; power has been restored to the Police Station,
\nFire Headquarters and the Hanover Street well field. Many of our
\nneighboring communities have not been as fortunate as we have been.
\nMany have not have power restored to their critical infrastructures.
\nThe men and women of National Grid are working diligently to restore
\npower to all customers as soon as humanely possible. Please, we are
\nasking you to be patient during the restoration process.
\nThe Fire Department reminds all citizens to stay safe as the
\nrestoration and clean up continues.
\nALL DOWNED LINES – POWER, CABLE, PHONE, etc. MUST BE CONSIDERED TO BE
\nLIVE!
\nMany residents are taking advantage of the nice weather to clean up
\naround homes and businesses. Downed trees, fences and other structures
\ncan pose a danger if in contact with power lines. Use caution as you
\nremove debris and contact the Fire Department if you see any downed
\nwires. <\/p>\n
