JCP&L Says Between 7 and 14 Days for Marlboro

Hornik said the estimate should be closer to seven days because Marlboro had no flooding compared to its Bayshore neighbors.

 

Mayor Jon Hornik is expected a full status report from JCP&L by the end of business today.

"I have no better information than the information I have been sharing with the public," Hornik said.

Hornik said a Wednesday morning conference call with officials in Monmouth County and JCP&L said some county residents may be without power for 14 days. But Hornik said the lack of flooding in Marlboro means residents are looking at an estimated 7 days without power.

There are four temporary charging stations set up in Marlboro, where residents can also go to take a seat in the warmth. No laptop or tablet charging.

The Marlboro Police Department is currently taking in medication which needs to be refrigerated, such as insulin. 

Those with medical needs should call 9-1-1 in an emergency.

As of Wednesday night, mroe than 15,000 people in Marlboro were still without power, according to the JCP&L outage map.

Thanks for the updates. This is how I let my parents know what is going on in town via text. I hate to sound like a project manager but is the 7-14 Day estimate from today(Nov 1st) or from when power went out Oct 29th?

Not sure yet, the Mayor will be updating residents as soon as he hears a solid work from JCP&L today. They are working on getting the Route 9 Corridor up and running first, so people can get supplies and gas.

Mayor Hornik - There are two large trees that have been cut down - one on Taylors Mills Road right off Robertsville Road and one on Robertsville Road between Taylor Mills and Ryan Road - to date no one from JCP&L has been there to fix the wires. We are freezing - everyone around us has power - it has been a week. Why can't they get to us. The Greenbriar community of Marlboro needs their power.

Frann, please call 732-536-0100 for help. If those wires have not been reported, JCP&L may not know about it.
