HAMDEN -- The town has extended its emergency food distribution through 1 p.m. today for people who are still without power.

The M.L. Keefe Community Center, 11 Pine St., and the Miller Memorial Library Senior Center, rear of 2901 Dixwell Ave., will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., according to Mayor Scott D. Jackson.

On Friday afternoon, 1,600 or 6 percent United Illuminating Co. customers in Hamden were still without power, Jackson said.

Eleven UI crews were in town, supported by public works crews.

"There’s a lot more activity today than all week. There are more crews on the ground. Everybody wants this to be done," Jackson said.

Jackson said UI told him that all neighborhoods were to be back on line by the end of the work day on Friday. UI also projected that all customers would be back with power by Sunday.
