PSEG is still reporting that power outages can be expected to last until next week.
Borough Hall is currently without power and will be closed until power is returned.
There are approximately 22 road closures in the Boro due to fallen trees and electrical wires. The DPW is working extended hours trying to clear the trees but can only do so after PSEG has verified that there is no current to the lines.
PSEG was in the Boro today trying to recharge a main line. That effort will continue tomorrow. PSEG will be restoring power to hospitals, schools and emergency service centers first. Then the will work on electric lines that service the largest amount of customers. Small electric feeder lines will be restored last.
DO NOT PUT BRANCHES IN THE STREET. Branches must be cut, tied and placed in bundles at the curb. Again, DO NOT PUT TREE LIMBS, ETC. IN THE STREET.
Thank you for patience and coperation.
