South Orange: Planned Power Outage

Press release from the Village of South Orange:

Aug. 21, 2020

Planned Power Outage

The power in your area may be down for a few hours.

Due to tropical storm Isaias, there is a hazardous condition that requires a tree contractor to remove a large tree in the N. Wyoming area. This hazardous tree is near PSE&G overhead primary and secondary lines and in order for the tree contractor to safely remove the tree and the contractor to work within OSHA regulations, PSE&G has been requested to shutdown service in this area to allow for the safe removal of the hazardous condition.

On Friday, August 21 starting at approximately 12:00 PM, your electric service will be off for approximately 6 hours until 6:00 PM. Weather and operating conditions permitting.

This interruption of electric service may cause burglar alarms or fire alarm systems to operate. If you subscribe to such a service, you should inform the operators of the alarm system of this schedule. We hope this necessary work will cause you a minimum of inconvenience. If you have someone at your location with special medical equipment, needs or conditions, please make appropriate accommodations beforehand.
