MATTAPOISETT — One week since a tornado touched down in Mattapoisett and caused damage to homes, trees and the town’s water treatment plant, clean-up is underway.

The tornado, which traveled nearly one mile and reached speeds of up to 95 miles per hour on Tuesday, Aug. 8 was classified as EF-1 by the National Weather Service.

According to the Mattapoisett town website, the tornado touched down in the area of Tinkham Lane, Acushnet Road and North Street north of the 195 Interstate.

The Mattapoisett water treatment plant, which was damaged in the storm and was running off a diesel generator had its power restored by Eversource on Wednesday, Aug. 9, said Mattapoisett Town Administrator Mike Lorenco.

At an Aug. 8 meeting of the Mattapoisett Select Board, Lorenco said the town would seek reimbursement from the state for the cost of running the water treatment plant on a generator.

“I understand that Mattapoisett wasn’t the only community that was negatively affected by the weather on Tuesday,” said Lorenco. “We will do our best in seeking financial support from the State.”

According to an announcement on the Town of Mattapoisett website, residents affected by the tornado who live on Tinkham Lane, Hereford Hill, Stoney Hill Road, North Street, and Eldorado Drive can leave tree trimmings for pick up by the highway department beginning on Aug. 21.

“Thanks to the quick response by emergency services and several brave citizens no lives have been lost, but that doesn’t mean lives haven’t been affected,” wrote Lorenco. “Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to all those affected by these unfortunate events.”
