Hi Ken, unfortunately NSTAR isn't giving updates for specific streets, but they estimate that it could take until Wednesday evening until all of Natick has power restored. Let's hope it's just a worst case scenario! Please let us know when you get it back.

No power on Stillwater Cir since early Sunday morning as of Tuesday at 9 am. All surrounding streets do have power and our street power lines are buried. Doesn't make any sense.

I'm sorry to hear that! The Morse Institute Library is continuing to serve as a shelter today and should be into the night again. You can also call 508-647-9500 if you need any assistance.

Spoke to a NStar repairman in a lift truck on Bacon St who was going to fix the pump station at Marion and Bacon about no power at Stillwater. 20 minutes later, we had power. Not sure if Stillwater is part of the pump station switch or that it was simply to reset the switch at the top of the street. Thankful that its back on, but why such a long wait?

Power is back up at Lakeview Gardens so I am assuming that means Kansas, Second and Third all have power as well.
