PHOTO: Over 400 JCP&L customers in Lakewood are without power this morning, and about 700 Howell residents are out, according to JCP&L.Traffic lights are out in the area of Forest Avenue, Route 9 and County Line Road. Police are directing traffic in the affected areas.
It’s unknown when power will be restored.
Jcpl says @ 11am when I called in.
So what is new? JCP&L continues to let customers down. It is time for an in-depth audit of their business practices, and their role as a regulated utility.
They are a monopoly, and therefore they need to keep the power on in their service areas, or perhaps the State of NJ should begin looking for options, and/or other providers.
In Lakewood, a rainy day is a major weather disaster. Getting totally out of hand.
Lights went on about 10:35. Maybe a car hit a pole or something. It’s not the end of the world, I can take it, worse thongs can happen.
Hopefully they’ll get it back soon. Shabbos without cholent aint easy.
Give them another raise.
I’m 35 years old and in my entire life I can’t remember living in a place with so many outages. I have lived in lakewood for 3 years and have experienced more power outages then in my entire life. Something is very flawed with the infastructure in lakewood
To fred – 1:20 PM —- The electrical system in Lakewood cannot keep up with all the new housing going on. Each new housing unit adds more load to the already overloaded system. It’s the same as with the roads – more housing equals more traffic than the roads were designed for.
Fred if you don’t like it here leave. I am sick of all the newcomers complaining!
Go back to boro park where you can spend ur whole day parking
