Anyone know if Battle Hill ave has power?

OzM

DERBY RD/BECKER/LYNN DRIVE AREA ALWAYS GOES UNNOTICED! We lost power for almost 10 days last year in the snow storm when everyone else has power. MAYOR, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

Gosh, its almost been a full week and we are still in the cold, dark apartments and houses. But there are other who have it worst so I will shut up. I will drive through the town in about an hour and I will make you all abreast to my findings.

South Maple Ave power restored 11/3/12 around 6pm

Hemlock Terrace has power

anyone know if Summit Hill apts have power...i know the back of it has but i am still without power in the front...had to leave town with newborn so he won't freeze to death...any update would be great!

Springfield has zero political pull. Unlike Summit, Millburn and Chatham which have been restored in recent days, the town is neglected. Shame on Mayor Shehady- the taxes we pay go to nothing. The town gets zero respect due to these politicians and the lower household incomes. This is the THIRD time in 3 years we have been out of power for over a week. The town is a rundown joke.

Thanks for the Troy Village updates zees2020! Its appreciated! Anything else you learn please share :)

Washington Ave/Battle Hill area came back on Saturday evening about 7:00ish.
Thank you to all the workers who left their families in states outside of the hurricane zone to help New Jersey get back on the grid. Please don't take people's frustration for a lack of appreciation for what you are doing for us.

To Jared. As far as I know the entire complex at Summit Hill is up and running again

Shouldn't somebody from the town be in contact with jcp&l and provide updates hourly? Does anybody know if anyone is working on the problem at all right now? Is there a plan or are utility crews going wherever they want? Some official info would be nice.

Both gas stations on Morris Ave near RT 24 across from Kings are open supply is running low cash only and the lines are getting long. They are still running off of generators. The Sunoco is expecting a shipment. But the line stretches way past Benihana

Springfield...the town that was officially ignored....thanks

Does anyone know if General Green apartment complexes has power on Mountain avenue yet?

Does anyone know if General Green apartment complexes has power on wabeno avenue?

General Greene on Linden?

Power back on on Newbrook Lane and Benjamin Drive, off Meisel near the Evergreen deli as of Nov 3 night.

Does anyone know if General Green apartment complexes on wabeno avenue?

Any updates on Troy Village? Especially Stone Hill Road?

Does anyone think it's strange that no one new has had their power come on since Tooker Ave at 2:19? Did they call it a day at 3?

Power back in park place!!

We have power on both Meisel Ave & Washington Ave. It came back late on Saturday night.

Seems as though just cluster units have power at this point.

It's frustrating to see trucks and workers drive through Lakeside at Briant Park and Troy Village and do nothing!!!

My friends in park place got power. Not in clusters.Thank you Mr. Mayor!

any updates for Lakeside at Briant Park?

Seems that the center cluster units were on and sides and back of park place were dark when I just left.

Mountain ave by rt 22 w in front of the apts has power!!

if the side and back units of park place turn on, can someone please post here! thanks!

KV- nothing at Briant Park, see workers come and go but nothing!

Power is up at Park Place. Yeah!!!!!

Lakeside at Briant Park has no power till now; though the surrounding areas do have power.

can anyone tell me if comcast is up and running at park place as well?

Bernadette Court got power as of 5:51pm tonight!
FYI - their lines were perfect and un-damaged. According to JCP&L, their power restoration was dependent on a sub-station in Union getting fixed. So power coming back for other streets may be dependent on things un-seen and in other towns.

Any update on power in Jefferson Terrace (near Irwin court, off mountain ave off 22)?

I live an hour south, and just got power this afternoon. JCPL workers are struggling mightily, but this storm was unprecedented. Wondering about the schools. Should I come up Mon and try to see if my classrooms in Walton, Sandmeier, and Caldwell survived? Do the schools have power?

No Body Denied has power back. Does anyone know if Springfield Gardens next door also got it?

Does anyone know if the front part of Summit Hill has power?

The cove apts have power, seabras and area behind dominos still dark, so is mountain ave from seabras to jdhs still dark, caldwell st and brook st area to jdhs where the police station is still dark, Walsh farms has power down Mtn to 22 and all the streets off of it except the part of hillside ave by the golf course and Nelson pl

Can anyone confirm that Springfield Gardens has power?

Sorry if that was confusing Mountain ave from welsh farms to 22 has power and all the streets coming off of it except for hillside ave where the golf course is and Nelson place. Also not sure of briar hills circle and gregory road as I did not go by them

does anyone know if remer ave (off of mountain ave), by cioffi's, has power on?

Don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but I was able to tap into my DVR in Springfield Gardens. Looks promising.

Bonny schools are closed tomorrow. We will know about Tues on Mon. There wasn't enough power on for all the schools to open tomorrow.

General green village linden ave?

Thanks ap. Fyi mountain view gardens now has power so I've been told.

Springfield Garden has Power I am here and it is a glorious sight!

Thanks Charese!

PINE view garden and Mountain view gardens on South springfield ave has light and internet working...
Saw light on hillside ave off rt 22 near nissan world as well. Looks good in most of springfield ..

Troy Village is still out. No power.

Hi Stephanie. Any word on Lakeside at Briant Park?

Is there any word on Springtop Condos?

so everyone at Springfield Gardens has power now - even Astor Place? Just want to double check before we head back!

Anyone notice the neighborhood by Cioffi's? Thanks

Commerce is on.

Just got home to Park Place and YES we all have power

Evergreen Ave and surrounding streets got power back around 5:45pm on Sunday

Springtop condos is always the last to get power :(

Springfield Gardens back back back!!!!

does internet work at springfield garden (verizon fios)?

Slowly power is returning to areas of Basking Ridge. My street now has power.

Did the power at Lakeside by Briant Park apartments come back on yet?

Evergreen Avenue, by the deli, has power as of last night.

No power on hillside. We were first to lose power. We lost power before the storm oficiaaly hit.

The area's under 24 overpass off Morris Ave (pool and 711 area) are still without power. I am assuming that we are all on Millburn's grid. I pray that we all have power before Wednesday's predicted storm.

Some of Briar Hills Circle is back on!!!! Went on around 6:30 lastnight.

William- no power at Lakeside at Briant Park. This morning there were fire trucks here someone smelt natural gas but everything is ok , pesg were here to check

Sycamore Terrace has power since Saturday night.

Mapes ave off mountain ave near dunkin donuts and Cioffi's got power back last night, but Kipling and the part of Hillside near golf course are blacked out still. Due to pole being don. Last night the area by johnathan Dayton was closed off and without power

Still no power on Avon or Eton. Vet happy for all of u who got power, but for those of us who haven't, this is an abomination. We were not a hard hit area, and since all surrounding streets have power, this makes no sense. Shame on you Mr. Mayor. Get the job done!

Does anyone know if there is power in Short Hills Village Club? I have been staying with family in NYC and have not been able to go to work in Elizabeth as a result. Thank you.

Any news about Winfield Way, Ronald and Gregory?

Does anyone know when we are going to get power back in lake side at briant park?

GB- I wish, so far nothing. I've seen crews working and then leave with still no power!

Esmeralda there is still no power at short hills village or neighborhoods around it. Stay in NYC. I will post the second we get power.

If anyone sees any activity by JCP&L in Short Hills Club Village can you please post. Thank you in advance.

Thanks Stephanie,hope we get it back at least today. I heard in some parts JCPL told people that they have ordered some transformer parts and that it's going to take at least another 3 days or so. Hope they were not talk about our area.

Still no power in Troy Village, as of 8 am Monday 11/5/12.

Some of Diven St has power. Workers at it all day yesterday on the power lines by the path next to Walton School playground.

Based on what I ma reading it seems that Troy Village is still out, as well as Lakeside at Briant Park and the Apartments on Short Hills ave. Unbelievable. Why arent these areas being serviced/restored? And the police station in Springfield is still out? this is unheard of! i thought police, fire stations and hospitals were priority? Are the traffic lights on Morris and Millburn avenue working yet?

I live at Troy Hills. There is NO power, heat or hot water.

Thanks for all posting about Troy Village! Not returning home until I hear power is up.

Thanks Cory!

The front part of summit hill was still without power as of 8am, as well.

If anyone hears about Avon and Eton, pls inform. Thanks!

I can see a JCP&L truck at Denham Park!! Hopefully this means good news for Short Hills Club Village & neighborhoods.

Would like to know when Sharon road gets electricity. Please post. Thanks.

Cory, you're my eyes and ears. Thanks again! I want to go home so much...

thanks cory
i hope we will have heat and power today, it's freezing in short hills club village

Just want to thank everyone for their posts....you are giving me hope :)

Stone Hill Road has trees on the wires still. Has been that way since the storm.

Any word on briar hills?

Any updates on Lakeside at Briant Park? Do we have power?

GB- nope we do not :(

Looks like everyone else got it except us :(

This is the only place where anyone can get information concerning the power outage. I appreciate everyone participation, but I am disappointed that JCP&L does not update their customers.

It would be helpful to know by when we can expect the power to be restored.

GB- most of Troy is out as well. I saw crews 2 nights ago working and nothing! Haven't see any since! What is the deal? It's suppose to drop to 28 degrees tonight and unfortunately I don't have anywhere else to stay

What parts of TROY VILLAGE have power.

Ya too bad. Not sure what to do.

James- from what I can see from my window the building on the dead end part of the road . I'm going to take a walk to see if I see any crews (doubtful) ill look at the number for u

No power yet on the half of Bedford Road that has had no power since the storm hit.

Tell me how the street light in front of my home has power each night yet we have no power!

SOUTH SPRINGFIELD AVENUE OUT WITH POLES
LAYING ON THE GROUND STILL!!!!!!!!
PART OF THE STREET (ABOUT 5 HOUSES) THEN IT SKIPPED OUR HOUSE AND LIT UP PART OF COUNTRY CLUB LANE.....

Same for lake side at briant park. Houses in front of our complex have power. The houses behind us have power. All the street lights are working :(

ONLY ABOUT 5 HOUSES ON SOUTH SPRINGFIELD AVENUE PAST THE YMCA HAS ELECTRICITY RESTORED!

But no power in our building.

OK Thanks Stephanie, my street (Stone Hill Road) looks no different than the day after the storm so I doubt anything happened.

Has anyone tried calling JCP&L? Perhaps repeated inquiries will move the needle???

Any news with Short Hills Village Club?

James building 92 has power that's what I can see outside my window for sure everything else looked dark last night and right now it's too light out

GB yeah I think that house is summit right different lines. Our lines I believe are between us and troy

Oh! Not sure if calling them would help. They keep saying 7 to 10 days. That's even more depressing

From what I heard, you need to keep calling JCPL and continue reporting outage. That's what some of my colleagues did at their place. They said they called 3 times a day and reported the outage. Also asked all neighbors and friends to do the same. They got power today. Hope this helps. Please keep calling. I will do the same.

Yeah I call all they say is crews are working on it! Umm yeah I don't see any lol

The number is 8885444877. Please keep calling. Hope they will hear us

I will call too. It has to be a group effort. :)

Esmeralda - no power at short hills village or neighborhoods

I was just told by a neighbor that JCP&L is working on Stone Hill Rd. Hopefully, Summit Hill and Troy will be back tonite. (Fingers crossed)

i will call again. called this am telling them that stone hill was in shambles

GB yeah ill call all night nothing else to do :) well maybe if they are working by Troy that will help us too

I just called. I also sent a mesage via Twitter @JCP_L.

Just called as well.

I, wonder if those big power lines behind briant park is the reason no power yet?

Thanks every one! I just called. Will call again tonight.

Ok to all my Lakeside at Briant Park friends, I spoke to a jcpl rep and she told me there is a transformer blown.. Power may not be fixed til Wednesday!

She said that transformer also affects part of Troy village :(

Oh boy! That's a bad news! Especially considering a new storm coming this way on Wednesday. :(

Sadness. I was really hoping for power tomorrow before the next storm comes. If it's a blown transformer and they dont fix it by tomorrow, they may not get to it until late Thursday or Friday after the nor'easter passes

Any update on Short Hills Club Village?

I am from Summit Hill. No power yet as of 6 pm. We are a friend's place because the apartments are freezing! The back does have power. No idea when the front will get power! I think probably Troy Village, Lakeside at Briant Park & the front of Summit Hill would get power at the same time!!

Hi I live at lakeside at Briant Park. We can't go back to check because of the gas issues. Would appreciate updates from you guys. I tried the number u mentioned mad still says Wednesday.

Less than 600 customers restored power in the last 24 hours. Shame on you JCP&L. Folks, once this passes we need to keep the pressure on our elected officials to do something about revoking JCP&L's license. DO NOT BECOME COMPLACENT once the power goes back on. Until action like that is taken, what we are experiencing right now will be the new "normal."

I agree with Dave H. The citizens of Springfield must demand a change in electric suppliers. This situation is not acceptable, and they must pay for their lack of service.

I agree Dave H. We should demand a meeting with the Mayor once we all have power. Why is it that we can't change companies?

Mira - no power at short hills village or neighborhoods STILL!!

Thats okay - the mayor of summit just had to inform her town (on facebook) that NOBODY in town would get power tomorrow - that power restorations would begin again on Wednesday. Felt kinda bad for her.

Lakeside resident...there are too many problems to list with JCPL, however, the biggest issue is communication with PAYING customers. The least we deserve is an honest communication of when to expect power, not just a generalization. I have been calling all week and nothing has been done, nor have I been given an honest estimate. I appreciate all the hard work that utility workers have been doing but I fear with the new storm coming we will be out of power for the foreseeable future. The only help has been everyone posting updates on this site. Keep up the good work!

Mr mr- since we are in the same boat we should stick together right? :) nothing at lakeside yet and I was told we'dnesday maybe. It is ridiculous with no heat and new storm coming. Had to leave tonight to sleep in an office building!

Amusing that if i failed to pay my bill they would come at me with guns blazing yet throughout this situation I have heard nothing from JCPL of a credit to my account, nor have i had any update on my power status whatsoever from them. Sucks having no recourse available.

Day 9-still no power at short hills village (just under 400 apts here) & surrounding neighborhoods. Does anyone out there know why?

this is really a shame......i've been calling JCPL daily as well. I am fairly new to springfield....does anyone know why the electric situation is so bad and why it seems as though springfield is not a priority at all? I am too waiting for updates on Short Hills Club Village therefore any updates are appreciated.

9th day no power and pole/transformer in front of the high school is still sitting in the street

Cory it seems to me most of the apartments are still out Lakeside Troy u Guys..it's ridiculous

Hey did anyone know that the red cross was at the short hills village yesterday to help? Neither did I. Also has anyone heard from our property managers? I am hoping that they are checking on the elderly & babies but something tells me they are not.

I was told from one of my neighbors who suffered through it, that last year, Fieldstone Drive was among the LAST streets in the STATE to have power restored. I wasn't affected because the two sides of Fieldstone are not on the same grid. This year my side went out first but now both sides have been out since last Monday, while the streets around us have power. I always thought I was on the same line as the houses behind me on Pitt but they've had power since Saturday night. I gear that Fieldstone will again be among the last in the state to regain power and I want to know why. I realize that someone has to be last. But walking around my block, I see no trees down on a line that is causing this problem and all I keep hearing is power is going to come back soon. Now I fear with the coming storm, people will lose power again and we will be pushed even further to the end of the line.

If anyone here needs to charge anything or if there is anything I can do to help please let me know. We got our power Sunday evening, I know how you all feel. Springfield is not the only town without power. Parts of summitt, mountainside, piscataway, Basking ridge and Califon also don't despite some parts of their towns having power. A few streets around me don't either for some reason. Try following jcpl on twitter, it gives a little more info, and you can annoy them that way, that's what I did. I took pics of wires down and tweeted them to jcpl. I hope you get power soon.

Avon, Eton and Norwood got power back yesterday afternoon.

I call jcpl about lakeside at briant park they keep telling me it's a transformer they don't have the part to fix it! Wtf they knew about the storm way in advance and weren't prepared with parts? They said Wednesday now this morning they are saying Thursday!

I have lived in Springfield for only 3 years. After this experience I am moving back to NY. Every time it rains hard or it is windy, we lose power. This leaves me speechless. Every time it gets worse. I have lost more than a week's work and have to report back tomorrow. I am scared to go back to a cold, dark apartment and have to leave my children with family. I know others are much worse off. I am just venting. This is just so wrong. If we ever get power back we should all meet for dinner and drinks! We have gotten more information from each other than JCP&L. I have only been able to speak to a live human being once.

What number are you guys calling that you are getting a live person??

I called 1888-544--4877 u report through automated system and at end hit 0 to talk to operator

Esmeralda I feel same way! I had to leave my son with family this whole week because its too cold for him! Ridiculous that it is taking so long over a week after the storm!

i just called JCP, they say that the majority of people of springfield will have power by today or tomorrow
so should i trust them ?!!!?

ahmed...NEVER trust them...i just called to tell them i have a 4 week old who needs power and is freezing, plus i have asthma and she could care less...said everyone has kids then yelled at me for calling...i told her i wanted to report down wires on troy/baltrosol and didn't even care...JCP&L is a piece of crap company and their customer service is below dirt...i hope they all get fired

Thanks for all the updates. I hope everyone keeps calling JCP&L - more pressure can only help. I'm waiting for power to come back on at Temple Beth Ahm for my wedding there next weekend. It sounds like that whole area is connected - I was told 420+ customers are connected there. The pole at the Temple was fixed yesterday, so hopefully we are on the right track!

i definately do not trust them at all. I feel your pain everyone and am praying JCPL gets it together for us.

Haha never trust them is right every time I call them they tell me something new and I just drive around Troy that downed transmitter, no one is around fixing it! Funny thing is the new bill just came

I called and they told me that they have the transformer parts. I thought it would be on last night but it wasn't so I almost froze sleeping there. I hope someone is checking on old/convalescent people residing in Troy, Summit Hill and Briant Park.

We should all NOT PAY OUR BILLS! Let them feel our pain......

Lenny, you made me laugh today! Thanks!

I think we should write a petition or letter to JCP&L about this. Get everyone in Troy, Summit Hill, Briant Park and Short Hills Village to sign it.

I've lived in Springfield for less than two years. I understand that the hurricane impacted almost everyone, and a lot of people are much worse off than I am ; they lost everything, I get that. I didn't expect power to be back on right away. I expected to be without power 2-4 days at most. Its been over a week and that is just unacceptable. I think JCPL should be held accountable for this, but something tells me they won't be. i really believe they dont care, and that Springfield is not a priority. I am actually re-thinking if I want to continue living in Springfield, because elelctrical service is so bad

finally talked to someone at jcpl and they said by tomorrow most of town should be on!

James! They told u the parts are in??? Wow this is the best news all month lol lets pray it gets fixed today and they r not lying to us

I just called 1888-544--4877 and got the info. that majority of residents will get a power back by tomorrow but for the hard hit area will get back by next week. I'm as a business's owner on the downtown Morrris Ave., we have to close the business for 9 days and still don't know when we can come back to business. Hopefully JCPL will restore our area soon.

James-we should also send a copy of the letter/petition to the mayor. Let him know that a good portion of his population lives in apartments & that the property managers along with JCP&L are doing nothing for us. Thank god for this article on the patch. It's my only source of info.

we live in summit hill and have several elderly couples near us and i know a lot of them have gone other places where it is warm (as did we). we already have issues with UNGODLY EXPENSIVE electric bills for our apartment in summit hill and will be having some heated discussions (no pun intended) with JCP&L when we are back in our place. this is getting beyond ridiculous.

JY-did they tell you what area is the hard hit?

I know ambulances have been here to take some of the elder in my building...we have so many babies in the complexes as well my heart breaks for everyone

I just called JCP, so what i understand from them they work by request, when we call them they register the request and they send the request by EMAIL to the crew and the crew decide if he have time to go their to repair, they don't have any way to monitor their network street by street, it's a big mess , bad infrastructure and i think they don't have enough skills. what they say if you are in not flooding area you should have power by tomorrow.

They also just told me that we are not considered a hardest hit area and therefore we should have power tomorrow. They said they are planning to work through the storm.

That's the best news I've heard in awhile. Thank you JG!!

Is there a website were you can write about how bad JCPL has been. Secondly can the town petition to have PSEG as the provider. We should all get together to do this one

When I called they said that there is no missing parts for transformer repair. That was this AM. I noticed Castle Shunpike (that large luxury building) and many other streets are on. Hopefully soon. I'm now going to constantly call JCP&L whenever I have issues. At least once a month I come home to find that my electric clocks like the stove etc.. are all reset to 00 like power went out. There is obviously something fouled up with the power grid in our area.

Just called JCP&L and told them that the majority of the buildings which are currently out in Springfield are electric dependent. We are not like homes that may have fireplaces or stoves to heat their homes & water. I also emphasized that there are people who have not and cannot leave their homes and are sitting in weather that is frigid.

Per JCP&L we should have power tomorrow but that did not take into account the new storm coming.

esmeralda,

I grew up one town over in Union. The power went out for
More than an hour or two twice in 37 years. My mom over there has PSEG. I have lived in other places in NJ. None are as bad as Short Hills Village as far as the power situation. My wife and I have been house shopping an we will not buy anywhere in springfield that has JCPL. That is how bad it is. I have been there for three years now and probably have lost a good $400-500 in groceries. Short Hills Village needs to buy generators so we at least have heat and hot water. I would chip in for this.

I could rough it but its tough when youve got a 2 year old and another on the way. There are lots of famlies
In short hills village that i am sure feel the same way.

I agree with you Ram! Like someone else said before, this is going to be our new normal....and I think we will not have a mild winter like last year. So seems like we are going to be totally screwd.....

I think jcpl customer service is just saying whatever BS they come up with...I haven't seen workers in lakeside/Troy area since friday

I called yet again and spoke to a representative from JCP&L. They claim that "All current indications determine that power is likely to be restored by tomorrow" We in Short Hills Club Village are NOT under a hard impacted area (Which is why it took them 10 days :O)..Since I don't believe them any more I am gonna pray hard

Mira - I am praying hard as well :) anyone see any activity by JCPL in SHort Hills Club Village....i am trying to plan where i need to go tonight.......thanks in advance. I know i keep asking the same question but i am desperate as I am sure we all are.

I just called them too. They are unable to provide specifics by street or property. They said they hope to have a majority (and she stressed majority) of the town up by tomorrow night. I asked about the upcoming storm, and if there are high winds, there's not much repair work they can do. I'm on Brook Street by the Police station hoping they fix this before the storm.

When I spoke to JCP&L an hour ago, they claimed they will be fixing the downed wire by the high school TOMORROW and power should be restored by 6pm tomorrow to Short Hills Club Village and the areas around there. I hope that is the case but am, like all of you, skeptical.

I am very disappointed (repeatedly) by the Forest Realty (management of Short Hills Club Village) for doing, as usual, nothing to push the process along - I am sure they are a tremendous tax payer, equivalent to over 100 single family home owners, right? They also do nothing to communicate with their tenants, or support the communication of their tenants. I suppose we can all organize our own facebook group or listserv (I think we should, by the way!), but it's surprising that Forest Realty never organized that since it only adds value to their product.

Perhaps, in addition to the fight to be free from JCPL, Short Hills Club Village residents may wish to make their views known on review sites like this: http://www.apartmentratings.com/rate/NJ-Springfield-Short-Hills-Village.html

anyone see any activity by JCPL in general greene village; wabeno ave?

I did see a JCP&L truck at Denham Park behind Short Hills Village yesterday but apparently they were there to supervise the town guys cutting up a tree. I guess there were wires involved. It took about 3-4 JCP&L guys & another 3-4 town guys for this job & by the way they only cut it up. It's still there.

I live in Troy Village and I am at my wits end!!!!!! This is ridiculous. We should all have power back by now. I keep looking on the JCPL outage report and the numbers keep going up? UP!! are they kidding? Do any of you have hot water? I wish i could at least sit in my tub.. dammit.. I called last night also and they said it should be back between today and tomorrow. Ill believe that when I see it. Wish I had somewhere else to go. Im 6 months pregnant and not happy in the least!

@ Paul, I agree that these apartment complexes should have generators. We pay a lot of rent each month more than some people's mortgages. Why are the supers not on top of this and provide generators for their buildings?

please check this link https://www.firstenergycorp.com/content/dam/newsroom/files/Town_ETR_Report.pdf
they are saying that today they will bring power up for more than 2000 people and i don't see anything for the next days!!
Strange......

I went home to Summit Hill today, on my way to vote. The electric was still out. I saw trucks on Stone Hill and Shunpike. The super told me there was a truck on the property as well, and they thought that power may return today. It is after 3pm, and no power. I didn't stay there, because I didn't believe that power would return. The temperature in my apartment was 47 degrees. I don't know how anyone could stay there. It is day 8. I don't think with a storm tomorrow, anything will be done. Maybe on Thursday, if we are lucky. This whole thing is a sham. JCP&L suck.

If a petition ever gets going to get rid of JCP, I will definitely sign it

I contacted jcpl they told me 70% of the remaining outages will return today/this evening

Hi Ahmed yes it seems that everyone will get power today? I won't believe it till I see it. When I called early afternoon I asked to have my name put on a waiting list to be called when power is restored.

Now I just learned (second hand) that there is a transformer down in the woods behind odd building side of Forest Drive (Short Hills Village) which NO ONE has ever worked on... I wonder if JCP&L even knows about this? I am going to call to report it - please call if you are a SH Village resident to make sure this is on the radar!

Cheryl ill be so upset if its not on till the 10th.. i cant take much more of this.. im spending way too much eating out and im sick of PB & J. it was extremely depressing throwing out all the groceries in my fridge! No, it must be fixed by tomorrow. The lady i spoke to last night told me it would be =[ just our luck another storm headed our way.. i regret renewing my lease in september.

did you all hear the joke? How many jcp&l workers does it take to get ur power on?
9...8 to look and talk about it and 1 Ohio Ed worker to fix it in 10 min.

I just got the call that school will re-open tomorrow. I wonder if that means they expect everyone to be up and running by then?

DRI-that would be the trees they watched get cut up yesterday that I posted about. Tree in pieces in Denham Park & haven't seen anyone since.

Any power on South Derby Rd?

Stephanie that's great news! I wish and pray for all of us that our power will be restored today.

Jared, like your joke. As for tomorrow, they are ridiculous. How are we supposed to feed our kids in the morning and send them off to school? They are insane! I left my two sons in NY with my mom. They will not be going anywhere until we get power. Seems like whoever made that decision has food, heat, hot water and electricity. It is insulting.

My side of Fieldstone got restored! But I don't think across the street, which is on another line, got their power back yet :(

Called JCPL just now. They elsaid estimated time for our area to be restored power is tomorrow. And we may get it today as well.

Magically in the last 60 minutes, 815 people allegedly got power according to JCP&L map. The question is where?!?

Any word on briar hills i know half the circle got it last night..

I strongly feel that we should not be asked to pay rent for the number of days that power was out, give or take a reasonable number of days for repair. (72 hours IMHO) They are responsible to provide tenants a living space which is safe and has the basic amenities. If the landlords have some skin ($) in this game, they will be forced to put additional pressure on the service providers.

I think your best bet would be to apply for Fema assistance for temporary housing - it is uninhabitable at 30 degrees-
http://springfield.patch.com/articles/all-state-residents-can-now-apply-for-individual-fema-assistance

Still no power in the front part of Summit Hill.

I'm sure you guys are eligible - this has been a severe inconvenience and this is a disaster for those without power. Register by calling 800-621-3362 or 800-462-7585 for those with hearing or speech impairments. Residents also can register online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or via a Web-enabled mobile device by visiting http://m.fema.gov/ and following the link to "apply online for federal assistance."

I went on line Jen to that website a couple of days ago and had ineligible criteria according to them. They are not interested in loss of wages or no heat or hot water, just property damge. I couldn't even finish the claim because they kept asking for property damage.

Who is winning the election? I am in Short Hills Village Club cut off to the world....

It's really too early, but so far Obama has 65% in NH but less than 1% of the votes are in.

Indiana - Romney 65% - but only 4% of the votes are in. Nothing remarkable yet.

Thanks Jen.

Saw on jcpl site that if you dont get power back today you wont get it back until after the 10th

That's horrible news I just got off the phone with them and they said we should have power by tomorrow at midnite. I am at troy vIllage. Where on the site does it say that ? UPDATE FOR TROY RESIDENTS.. they put generators up to the utility buildIngs. We now have hot water. Heat doesn't seem to be coming on.. wonder why they didn't do this five days ago....

On one of there outage maps... Im starting to think they just tell people whatever they want

For Summit Hill, Troy Village and Lakeside apartments - I was at Summit Hill till 5:30 pm today and still no power. It's way too cold to live in the freezing apartments so I am staying with another friend whose house has power (in Springfield Gardens). They got the power back 2 days ago! We are still in the dark!! I am new to Springfield and had no idea that the power situation is so bad! Surely moving out of Springfield once my contract with Summit Hill expires!! Thanks to all of you who are posting comments on this article! Please keep updating, this is the only place where I trust the updates. NOT the JCP&L website for sure!

I called and they said they will not be working during the storm tomorrow

@Steven Do you have any update on when the power could be restored?

I believe the storm won't be till late tomorrow night so I hope they get this done during the day. This just isn't right. The website says they are prepared to work through the storm...

Briant Park still out!

Very frustrating to see the neighboring streets with power and I still don't have any!

It's absolutely frustrating. Was behind a women in line today complaining that her cable was still not working and what's the point of power without cable... if only she knew..........

Tell me about it! I just don't understand why nothing is being done to the downed power lines in front of Troy Village. It's been that way since after the storm! Only the felled tree has been removed. I am just soooo frustrated with the power situation.

So am I.. I don't know what I'll do if it's not on by tomorrow at midnight I can't take much more of this

Lets hope for tomorrow

Was at summit hill today at 9:45 pm...no power to the front half. No power to Troy village along stone hill rd or Bryant park. Very frustrating! The roads looked the same as they did on Tuesday morning. Would like to express our appreciation to all that are posting updates!

Still no power at Short Hills Village or neighborhoods. So cold.......

Nothing at lakeside yet :(

Anonymous - I don't care whether you like the Mayor or don't like the Mayor. The problem is not the Mayor. And complaining about the Mayor for the sake of complaining about the Mayor does not turn the lights back on. I don't think I am going out on a limb here to say we are all appalled by JCP&L's apparent inability to provide the very service we pay them to provide. If I performed my job the way they do, I would have lost my job years ago. JCP&L randomly put out "restored" numbers last night that I believe to be false (they did nothing all day and suddenly 815 people were restored last night - where?) Then, after telling us all we would have power today, they now say SUNDAY. Unacceptable.

That is why you, me, everyone on this posting, the Mayor, and anyone on the town council you may approve of need to band together to explore our options once the light DO come back on. This cannot be acceptable to anyone. This cannot become our new NORMAL every time there is a stiff breeze in Springfield. Let's discuss how we address the true problem here: JCP&L. Are we just stuck with them? Can we force them to make changes? Until we explore this TOGETHER, we get what we deserve.

JCP&L are liars. Something needs to be done about them. There is a Utility commission in New Jersey. Their phone number is 1-800-624-0241 . Everyone should call them non stop and force them to get tough on JCP&L. I find it interesting how some people want to remove regulations from everything. What this tragedy has proved is that we need more regulations on our utilities. If we don't demand results, Nov 11 will pass and we will still be without power.

Just got off the phone with JCP&L and they said if you did not have power as of now, you will most likely not get it until after the 10th - no set date, but no earlier than the 10th!!!

Anything on Springtop Condos on Morris Ave?? Parts of Morris are up. I heard schools back on today so the high school must be open. I know for fact no down lines or trees in our complex. I've called JCPL everyday thus far and still cannot tell me exact location or estimate. I hope today also as I looked on their recent report saying all of Springfield up by today. Lets see. I haven't been home myself and staying with in laws to be closer to work and not have myself and my pup freeze. My fiance works for PSEG and he is still working on down power lines so whether JCPL or PSEG, everyone is affected and frustrated!

According to what is posted on JCP&L website (https://www.firstenergycorp.com/content/dam/newsroom/files/Town_ETR_Report.pdf), Springfield is no due to see any more restorations until Sunday Nov 11th. I live in the front part of Summit Hill and this is really starting to get ridiculous.

I love how JCP&L tells everyone something different!

I just got off the phone with them also. They told me for troy hills anytime between today and Sunday and that the crews are prepared too work through the storm. Why do they tell everyone different things ? This is completely unacceptable. The next time I hear about a storm.. I'm booking a long vacation. This is by far the worst experience I've had with a power outage. This is my first year here.

I called the number 888-544-4877 and only got the automated response, even pressing 0 at the end. How do you get someone on the phone? When I spoke with jcp&l yesterday they said they would be working on the downed transformer by the high school in order to restore power to that area by 6 today. However, there is NOBODY working anywhere near that downed line!

Just got off phone with JCP&L and they told me by Sunday, but they are working through the storm.

I've called 800-662-3115 and you can reach a live person there by pressing 0 but the wait time is 1 hour 15 min to 2 hours right now. They said they will call back if you don't want to wait on hold. I live in Short Hills Club Village and no power as of yet :(

and really the 'storm' is 1 inch of snow!!! We live in NJ, what is 1 inch of snow???

just called JCP&L again....completely useless........i wonder if the township representatives are doing anything about this?

DRI when they ask you what you are calling to report after pressing zero.. say representative and they will connect you..

I truly hope that we won't be waiting till sunday for power. They should have made sure to fix everything before this next storm. Shame on them. I was told the same thing as Lauren.. even though just twelve hours ago I was told today by midnight

When I said representative I was on hold for maybe twenty min

Bad news..i live in front of Summit Hill apts....just got off phone with JCP&L and they said at minimum we won't see power back until Sunday the 10th...once again screwed over...no ability to give real answer and no solutions...this is a nightmare and I am now seriously considering terminating my lease and getting the hell out of springfield now while i can...

Briant park residents please let us know when power js back. There is no way we can find out otherwise. Thank you. Let's hope for tonight. Although I doubt anyone is gonna work on it with the storm coming tonight.

Just got off the phone with JCPL, woman there was HORRIBLE - she had the nerve to yell at me and tell me that no one is working in Springfield until the 10th and if power is not restored on the 10th it will be next week.

Yeah I was told between now and Sunday wtf that's 5 days difference with the storm coming its already 49 degrees in my apartment! Guessing management from these apartment complexes aren't going to help residents with rent so we can afford to stay at a hotel

Just returned home to check on things. Power is on at 90 Troy Village. All the way at the end of the streets dead end near the park. NO heat at all though.

Almost all of Springfield is restored except for 2000 customers. I am annoyed that today they told me it's a big possibility of being restored. Why lie about it ?

Power went on at the end of troy three days ago I think

i called JCP again and i told them that they are lying to me since 10 days

This is simply inhumane.

I called JCPL last night, The automated message said that all customers are expected to be restored by 11:59 pm November 11th (Sunday). I am so depressed and angry at this point. I was able to speak with a live person last night as well. I vented. She listened. I honestly don't think that the customer service reps at JCP know anything. I am not calling them anymore because I feel that I am getting the run around. I will file a complaint with the Utility Commission. And I think it is very important that we all band toghether and do something to get the Township and the state to investigate JCP.

Unfortunately, I own my unit in Troy Hills, so I cannot just pick up and go. However I probably wont stay for as long as I planned. I want to get as far away from Springfield as I can. I'm sick of it .

I slept in my place last night, I froze. Most ot the neighbors have 'abandoned ship". I am depressed and angry...getting to the end of my rope

They are lying to everyone.

This is simply crazy! How can they do this to us?? You mean to say that we will be without power for 2 weeks after Sandy! This is not even close to acceptable! What is the problem with our power line? Why don't they tell us what exactly is the issue here?

It's just ridiculous I feel like crying. They told me more then once it would be on by midnight and it's already starting to rain. At troy they are running generators to give us hot water. But what am I gonna do... take a warm shower and then step out into fourty degrees ? The fact that they are running generators is a bad sign. We are doomed

In the past hour the outages for Springfield went from 1999 to 2406. Are they kiddIng

I am 38 weeks pregnant, live in Troy Village, and my family has been staying with my parents in Maplewood for over a week now. I am 10 days from my due date, and I can't be at my own home preparing for the baby. At this rate, I may not even be able to bring him to his own home from the hospital. I am thankful that my family has somewhere to go, believe me, but JCP&L has a lot to answer for at this point.

i guess this is one way to get to know your neighbors and townspeople. Big slumber party at somebody's house. Cuddling with strangers may become our new norm. Shout out to 40 degrees!

Oh Meredith I'm so sorry I also live at troy and I am 26 weeks pregnant and I can't imagine dealing with this so close to your due date.. I hope that when your little one arrives you will be able to bring him or her home to a warm apartment and all this insanity will be over...

Shame on jcpl. Who else got a bill the other day. Ha.

Thank you unfortunately I have no choice but to tough it out in the apartment.. I am new to the area and don't know many people.. family is a
Long way from here. I am also on bed rest since 20 weeks.. we all should have gotten power days ago.

JSP keep saying we need to wait until sunday
we need to face one superstorm and one snow storm without power without heat
this is the truth and good luck .
my wife is pregant, her due date is in begening december and she is very tired.
i don't know but if i can break my lease i will move from this area as soon as possible.

In nj landlord can sue for the remaining years rent if you break a lease. I've got another 10 months to go. I am not renewing mine in September...

Everyone - this is a facebook group called "JCP&L needs to answer". Please go ahead and join. You can even lodge a complaint at http://www.state.nj.us/bpu/assistance/complaints/. I just did!

Sorry, here is the facebook group link - http://www.facebook.com/groups/214956725303852/

Does anyone know if there is power Morris Avenue in Springfield by the center and the State Farm ?

I was considering calling him but not sure if he'll be able to do much.. he is affiliated with Morristown memorial and I have always heard great things of them. I am going to see what I can do. I can not stay here tonight

I think most of morris ave is out.. from seven eleven to the Valero I know is def out

Lol.. would love to send med bill to jcpl and throw there bill in too

Their. I can't even think straight !!

To all Short Hills Village residents...super said it will be at least Monday until we get power

Cory, thanks for the update. How very sad.......do you think SHCV will reimburse us for rent paid since we can't even stay there right now?

Cory - thanks. Unreal.

Oh no! They should reimburse our rent. I am going to figure out the math and not pay the amount of days I could not stay in my own apartment. Too bad I had already paid November. But I will do that for December's rent. What is SHCH going to do? Throw us all out?!

Don't even get me started about management (Gary). I have been here over 10 yrs & could tell you some real horror stories.

Hey we got power back just now at lake side at briant park just now!!

I hope all of you in Springfield got the power back.
