A power outage in southeastern Connecticut affected the line for routine calls to the Ledyard Police Department, but service has been restored.
There were nearly 3,000 power outages, but that number was quickly down to 950.
The Ledyard police department said the power outage caused lines for routine calls to go down and they asked anyone needing to call for a routine matter to call 860-464-8225. As of 3:57 p.m., service was restored.
It’s not clear what caused the outage, but there were more than 1,400 outages in Groton, more than 800 in Ledyard, more than 250 in Stonington and more than 180 in Weston.
Groton has 728 outages and police said they are in the northeast side of town. The police department has power and 911 is working, police said.
It appears power is back on Ledyard and Stonington.
Officials from Eversource said crews are working on restoring power and they expect to have power back within a couple of hours.
