1,900 Marlboro Residents Remain Without Power Thursday

MARLBORO, NJ — Currently there are an estimated 1,900 Marlboro residents that remain without power, according to JCP&L. This number is down from the 4,600 peak yesterday, said Marlboro Mayor Jon Hornik.

JCP&L remains in the "cut and clear" phase of its operation to remove live lines and trees to make roads safe. Unfortunately because of the magnitude of the storm, this phase will continue until the afternoon and we will not have estimates of repair time until then. Pictured above are lines down in Colts Neck today.

Some will get power back today; others will likely not be completed until tomorrow. "If you are without power at this time we do not believe your power will be restored before late afternoon/evening or tomorrow and you should plan accordingly," said Hornik.

Mayor Hornik has directed the Marlboro OEM to open the Recreation Center to open as a charging and warming station for those are without power in Marlboro. The facility will open at 10 a.m. Thursday. The address is 1980 Recreation Way off Wyncrest Road.

There are four roads in Marlboro with downed trees and power lines cutting off access to/from those streets. Marlboro OEM and the County OEM are in contact with JCP&L and those roads are priority. We remind residents to steer clear of power lines. Assume all are live and dangerous.
