Remaining Parsippany Outages Will Have To Wait Another Night

PARSIPPANY, NJ—After receiving an estimated time of service restoration of 11:30 p.m. Monday, the 10 remaining Parsippany customers will have to wait another night in the dark, as Jersey Central Power & Light has pushed that estimate back to tomorrow afternoon.

"Crews are addressing many localized issues and restoring individual customers," said a statement released by the utility. "This requires crews to travel to individual locations to restore about 2,800 JCP&L customers [statewide] who remain without power. This is the most time-consuming, labor intensive and complex part of service restoration."

Early Tuesday morning, Parsippany's 10 outages contributed to the 55 county-wide. The new estimated time for service to be restored to those customers is Tuesday at 3:30 p.m.
