At this time our entire town is without power. If you have not done so please report your power outage to JCP&L at 888-lightss (1-888-544-4877). It is important to report your outage as JCP&L plans their repairs based upon the outage reports. We have been in touch with JCP&L throughout the storm. JCP&P will be assessing to our electrical infrastructure and will report back to my office.

As always, JCP&L reminds us to assume that downed power lines are live and dangerous. Never attempt to move them. If a line is down immediately call 888-lightss or our Police Department at (732) 563-0100.
