Towns across the state received circuit upgrades, one of which could help with restoration if an outage occurs.
Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) recently completed upgrades on circuits across the state, including in the township of Wayne.
Upgrades included the installation of more resilient polymer fuses, adding larger 10-foot cross-arms to increase wire clearance and installing fault indicators that help identify problem areas on a circuit which helps speed the restoration process if an outage occurs.
