About 500 JCP&L Bedminster Customers Expected to be Restored

Now into day seven without power for some, JCP&L is estimating about 500 will be restored in Bedminster Monday.

According to the JCP&L outage report, their estimates are that about 479 people will be restored throughout the day.

As far as the numbers themselves, about 1,415 still don't have power in Bedminster. There were 1,712 without power as of Sunday.

Bedminster Mayor Robert Holtaway said the municipal building still does not have power, but it will be open for regular hours today, powered by a generator, and Monday's township committee meeting will go on as scheduled at 7 p.m.

The phones at the municipal building are currently out of service, but there are workers there to help residents as best as possible with township business.

For those without power, warming stations are open at the Bedminster Municipal Court on Miller Lane from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., as well as the Grace Fellowship Chapel on Main Street from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Both are offering places to charge electronics, have a cup of coffee and warm up.

JCP&L spokesman Ron Morano did not immediately return a call for comment.
