FH Mayor: Expect 'Reasonable' Power Restoration by Wednesday

Youth Center remains open as a comfort station

Fair Haven Mayor Ben Lucarelli said he expects the borough to start regaining power by Wednesday.

As of Monday morning, JCP&L reports 1,585 of the borough's 6,121 residents (as of the 2010 Census) without power, although the actual number of homes and businesses is likely considerably larger.

Lucarelli said the "latest information is that Fair Haven will have reasonable restoration by Wednesday." The mayor cautions to continue to exercise extreme caution around downed wires and to report any arching wires to police at 732-747-0991.
