Officials in Scituate are warning residents about a possible scam as power restoration efforts and storm cleanup continues.
Town officials say there have been reported cases in surrounding towns where tree cleanup crews falsely claimed affiliation with National Grid and sought payment for their services.
National Grid crews will never request money from residents and they say if anyone approaches you asserting they are with National Grid asking for payment, please contact National Grid at 1-800-465-1212 or the Scituate Police Department at 781-545-1212.
As of 7:48 p.m. approximately 90% of Scituate customers served by National Grid have had power restored and Scituate Public Schools will be in session on Wednesday.
