NSTAR is reporting that the number of Arlington homes affected by this weekend's power outage is now down to 330.

According to the company's estimates, it could take until Wednesday evening for energy to be restored to the entire town. As of Sunday, nearly 1,000 households were left in the dark after a rare October nor'easter hit the area this weekend.

According to an NSTAR report, about 1.6 percent of homes in Arlington remainwithout power this Monday afternoon, down from about 996 on Sunday evening. Statewide, more than 42,000 were still without power as of Monday afternoon.

Officials at the company estimate the Arlington outages will be solved by Wednesday evening.

Several residents have reported downed trees and wires around town. A Public Works dispatcher on Sunday said the department was sifting through eight pages of damage reports. 

In a release, Public Works officials said there is significant tree damage that will take a few weeks to clean up. The department is focused on downed trees and major branch removals from public ways.
