发帖数: 3032 | 1 Outage update: Power has been restored to about 20 percent of the 1.4
million customers who lost power during Hurricane Sandy. Customers without
power currently number between 1M and 1.1M. The largest storm in PSE&G
history caused major flooding of substations and damaged power lines and
other equipment. Today the utility successfully brought three flooded
substations back on line to restore feeder lines that serve Newark,
Elizabeth and Newark Airport. Work will continue on other stations including
ones that serve Jersey City and Sewaren.
The walls of water created by the storm surge flooded a large number of
substations along the Passaic, Raritan and Hudson rivers, disrupting service
to customers in Hudson, Essex and Middlesex counties. The magnitude of the
flooding in contiguous areas is unprecedented. PSE&G had to take these
stations out of service, wait for the flood waters to recede to assess the
damage, dry out the equipment, replace equipment when necessary and re-
energize the system to restore service.
PSE&G is distributing free ice and water to customers without power at the
following locations on a first come, first served basis between 8 am and 4:
30 pm:
Elizabeth Customer Service Center, 550 N. Broad Street, Elizabeth, NJ 07202
West Orange Customer Service Center, 59 Main Street, West Orange, NJ 07052
Garden State Plaza, One Garden Plaza, Paramus, NJ 07652
Burlington Customer Service Center (PSE&G lot across the street from CSC),
501 High Street, Burlington, NJ 08016
In addition to widespread electric outages, PSE&G expects the heavy rain and
predicted storm surge to result in gas outages. Water could enter the
utility's gas distribution system, as well as flood customers' basements and
gas appliances. Customers are reminded to call PSE&G to report gas odors,
and contact their local fire department and municipal construction office to
receive assistance in pumping the water out of their basements.
Customers with wells are advised to have a supply of bottled drinking water
on hand, and should fill the bathtub with water for sanitary purposes.
Crews work around the clock to repair equipment and restore power. The
utility's call center also will be fully staffed on a 24-hour basis to
handle calls from customers. Other employees will assist with assessing
storm damage, keeping the public away from any downed power lines and other
functions that support restoration efforts.
Electric crews work to restore power to the largest numbers of customers
first, taking into account "priority" customers, such as hospitals, police
stations, fire stations, water and sewer facilities, communications
facilities (TV, radio, and telephone), and customers on life-sustaining
medical equipment. At the same time, the utility restores power to homes and
businesses, starting with the circuits serving the largest number of
customers. | s*********n
