UPDATE: As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, phone lines were restored and are now functioning properly, police reported.

The Town of Middletown continues to recover from the effects of Hurricane Irene.  As a result of the storm, the administrative telephone lines to all town departments and offices are currently out of service.

However, all town departments are open during normal business hours.

In addition, the police and fire department each have one direct emergency telephone line still working:

• The police department can be reached by dialing 846-1104.
