Ridgewood NJ, Service Restoration Update: Currently about 73 percent of all PSE&G customers have power while 607,000 customers are still without power. At its peak, the storm impacted 1.7 million of PSE&G’s 2.2 million electric customers.
PSE&G missed its target for full restoration of the Village of Ridgewood and has now pushed in back to the 5th of November or sometime Monday .
PSE&G says , ” The significant progress we’ve made on the transmission system means we’re now increasingly focusing our efforts on our distribution system. This means that our work will be more visible in your neighborhood.”
More help is coming, ” we will have additional feet on the ground and more trucks rolling through New Jersey’s streets. Another 600 workers will be joining the more than 3,000 linemen and tree contractors already working in our area. The federal government is flying some of these workers and their equipment from California into McGuire Air Force Base, located near Trenton.
Don’t tell me that PSE&G is taking a break today because it’s Sunday…..they had been on a long break until yesterday. Each day is so painful…
