13h agoAround 1,200 Essex County
residents were without power overnight due to an equipment
failure.
No power means losing air
conditioning, keeping items in the refrigerator cold and fresh, and a very
uncomfortable overnight.
“They said last night maybe at
about 8:15 power would be restored, so I didn’t hook it up last night,” said
Brett Jackson. “Now all night the refrigerators have been off.”
It comes from two separate issues
involving equipment failure that were not caused by the heat, one at Orange
Road and Porter Place in Montclair.
A PSE&G spokesperson says around
1,2000 customers were without power from Monday afternoon into today.
“I slept on the floor from 10:30
until 2:30 then I went on the bed at 2:30 because it was just too hot to lay on
the bed,” says Joan Moe.
Some residents say they’ve lost
power three times in the past few weeks.
PSE&G says there was a
problem at a substation, which has since been taken care of and is unrelated to
the issues.
Customers without power should contact PSE&G at 1-800-436-7734 with any questions.
