POWER OUTAGE HITS

An apparently widespread power outage hit town this morning at about 7:45 a.m. It came back on for us and it appears for most within 30 minutes.


No cause given, which is unusual since it was not unusually hot or the result of bad weather.


The PSE&G website indicates between 500 and 2,000 Maplewood customers have been affected. The utility's media relations said they had not heard anything. Nice quality control.
