Baywood Electrical Repairs Expected to be Completed Thursday Evening

Repairs to electrical transformers that blew during the repowering of a Brick neighborhood are expected to be completed around 6 p.m. Thursday night.

"They're over there now and they're fixing it," said Mayor Stephen C. Acropolis around 5 p.m.

Rounds of inspections required by Jersey Central Power and Light before the utility would turn the power back on in several township neighborhoods were completed by Wednesday night, but when crews went to repower the area, two transformers blew, the mayor said.

The issue has mainly affected the Baywood neighborhood, which has been out of power since Hurricane Sandy struck.
