HOWELL – More than 70% of the township’s Jersey Central Power and Light customers are without power “and crews are working hard to get the township back up and running” according to Councilman Thomas Russo, following yesterday’s Tropical Storm Isaias.
According to a post by Russo, JCP&L customers without power for 24 hours or more can get free water and ice at the Saker ShopRite in Howell and a water refill station has been created for those out of power and rely on well water.
The station has been established behind the Route 524 (925 Adelphia Rd.) fire station within the cones area according to the councilman who also posted as of 10:48 a.m. today that cooling stations are available at Town Hall in the main meeting room, Ardena Baptist Church on Route 524 and the Howell Senior Center for seniors only.
Potable water is also available at the Adelphia Firehouse, Town Hall in the rear parking lot and the Department of Public Works building
Russo thanked the employees of the township’s police department, office of emergency management, DPW and township staff. “If you see unsafe conditions please call 1-888-544-4877. If if there is an emergency call 911, many of you who may need electricity for your medical conditions so if you are in an emergency call 911,”
