FREEPORT

Nearly 200 households in Freeport remained without power on Monday, a week after the Oct. 30 storm that left 400,000 Mainers in the dark.

Neighborhoods that remain without power include the Wolfe’s Neck and Flying Point peninsulas, Church Road in South Freeport and Harraseeket Road.

Town Manager Peter Joseph said a Central Maine Power website listing outages is not entirely accurate, because it shows areas as having power that have not yet been restored. However, Joseph said CMP assured him they do have accurate lists and they will not skip homes. He added that there has been significant progress made in the last three days.

Meanwhile, Joseph said Freeport Public Works crews have been working overtime, clearing debris from roads, and that will likely continue for another couple of weeks.

“I’m glad we didn’t have injuries or deaths in the storm or the cleanup,” Joseph said, adding he knows it has been a frustrating week for residents.

Resources available to the community include food assistance at Freeport Community Services, showers at the Casco Bay YMCA, and water at the town’s public safety building, Joseph said.

A 24-hour emergency warming shelter equipped with cots has been set up at the Freeport fire station. However, Joseph said it has not been used by residents.

Joseph said there has been a lot of requests for the recycling center to provide extended operating hours for the disposal of debris, food scraps and garbage. The center will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday.
