JCP&L Same Old Communications Problems

Jersey Central Power and Light (JCP&L) continues to lag in communication with customers, despite promises made by the utility to the state Board of Public Utilities (BPU) in 2018, as many Hunterdon County residents are without power due to tropical storm Isaias and have no clear information on future restoration, Hunterdon County Freeholder Board Deputy Director Sue Soloway has charged.

Soloway stated, “I believe everyone recognizes that fallen trees and limbs are hindering the pace of restoration work, however, there is again a lack of significant communication by the utility.”

Soloway said, “Presently all customers, regardless of location, whether in Morris, Monmouth, Hunterdon Counties, or other JCP&L service areas, are receiving the same information that power is expected to be restored by August 11^th at 11:00 pm and some are being advised that restoration will not be completed until August 19^th at 11:30 pm.”

That is a generic response that does not give the public enough information for planning.

Hunterdon Library To Provide Cooling And Power Center Saturday and Sunday

Capacity Is Still Limited By Executive Orders

Hunterdon County’s Main and North Branch Libraries will have added hours on Saturday, August 8th, 9 am to 5 pm and on Sunday, August 9th, the Main library will be open 9 am to 5 pm, to provide a cooling, internet, and electronic power center for county residents without power, Freeholder Zach Rich has announced.

Rich, the Freeholder Board’s liaison for the Library Commission, stated, “The Freeholder Board recognizes many residents are without power at a time of high temperatures and also, so many people rely on electronic devices. As a result, the Main and North Branch libraries have extended their hours to provide services to the public during the power outage.”
