8/6/2020 - Message from Mayor Tagliarini Regarding Restoration

Dear Aberdeen Residents,

On behalf of the Council, Town Manager and the Chief of Police, I hope that you are staying safe. I realize that for most of you, frustration levels are high, please know we are in contact with JCP&L. Yesterday at 3:00pm, Aberdeen was on a conference call with JCP&L. I again have the unpleasant task of reminding you that the restoration period will be a “ Multi Day Task”. We were informed that the estimated restoration time for the most severe cases is by 11:30 pm on August 11. As of this morning, Aberdeen went from having 80% of the town without power to 39% of Aberdeen experiencing outages. Please be aware that even though we are monitoring the situation with JCP&L, we are unfortunately, not always notified with updates in a timely manner. This morning, a transformer blew on Van Brackle Road, which disrupted service to Highway 34 and some of you that had already been restored. As of now, most of the impacted area has been or is in the process of being restored. We will continue to pressure JCP&L to restore the power in Aberdeen and we will continue to update you as much as we can.

Below is a list of numbers that I believe you will find to be resourceful.

Police Department: 732-566-2054
Town Hall: 732-583-4200
To report an outage to JCP&L : 1-888-544-4877
Text STAT to 544487 or call 888-544-4877 to receive an update for your specific outage. This personalized information is also available in your online account.

Please stay safe and reach out to us in any emergency.

Sincerely,
Fred Tagliarini
Mayor
