All Southington schools are closed because of a large, but short-lived, power outage, police said Thursday morning.
About half the town – 40,000 customers, or 49% of customers -- lacked power shortly before 7:30 a.m., according to Eversource’s website.
The outage report was updated minutes later to reflect that only about 3,500 people, or 17% of the town, had no electricity.
