Abstract
EXCLUSIVE of the Cos Cob station (referred to in article II of this series) there are five steam generating stations along the Connecticut coast owned by three different operating companies. These stations are at Montville, New Haven, Bridgeport, Devon, and Stamford. As a result of the storm wave, the Montville and Stamford stations suffered outages because of flooded essential auxiliary equipment. New Haven and Bridgeport stations did not shut down, but did have a few non-essential motors flooded. At Devon, earth barricades excluded water from the station.
