The Latest: Utilities: It could take days to restore power
BOSTON (AP) — The Latest on the recovery from a second powerful storm that rumbled through the Northeast (all times local):
1:10 p.m.
Electric utility Eversource says it could be several days before it can restore power to every home and business it serves that lost it during the latest winter storm to hit the Northeast.
Eversource has more than 3.5 million electric and natural gas customers in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire.
The company said on Twitter on Thursday: "Please plan to be without power for multiple days as we work through this significant restoration."
Eversource spokesman Mike Durand told WBZ-AM its challenges include fallen trees, poles and other debris, and in some cases rebuilding entire systems.
