Town Manager Anthony Marino is providing the following update to residents regarding ongoing impacts from yesterday's storm: 

As of 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24, the Town of Winthrop currently has approximately 80 homes without electricity. Half of those being on Veterans Road where we had a utility pole break. The Town remains in contact with National Grid and they will continue with repairs until everyone’s power is restored.

Winthrop DPW have made repairs repairs to six of the seven water main breaks and the last one will be completed tomorrow. The last water main break has been isolated and does not impact any homes. At this time, water is restored to all homes and businesses in Winthrop. 

DPW crews continued storm cleanup work today, and focused on the Town and School buildings as well as the municipal parking lots today.

The town-wide parking ban remains in effect for all areas where a vehicle cannot be parked with the wheels not more than 12 inches from the curb. This may require personal efforts to cut back and shovel the snowbanks. Please refrain from placing the snow back in the street. The Town will continue removing snow from business districts and municipal parking lots.

"On behalf of everyone in the Town of Winthrop, I need to extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude for a job well done by Steve Calla and the entire DPW crew, and our Police and Fire Departments," said Town Manager Marino. "They handled everything that could possibly be thrown at them yesterday and performed amazingly under horrible conditions. They are true professionals and we are lucky to have all of them."

For additional questions or concerns, residents should contact the Town Manager's Office at 617-846-1705.
