MONTCLAIR, NJ — UPDATE: Due to a wet weather forecast, the work scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 11 has been rescheduled to Wednesday, Feb. 12, Montclair officials said. Our original article with corrected date follows below.

A small number of homes in Montclair will lose electricity for “an extended period of time” on Wednesday, Feb. 12 due to PSE&G upgrades, authorities said.

The following addresses will be affected, town officials stated:

Montclair officials added:

“This interruption of electric service may cause burglar alarm or fire alarm systems to operate. If you subscribe to such a service, you should inform the operators of the alarm system of this schedule. If you have someone at your location with special medical equipment, needs, or conditions, please make appropriate accommodations beforehand. We hope this necessary work will cause you a minimum of inconvenience.”
