Over 1,400 JCP&L customers in multiple different developments in Lakewood are without power this evening.
The power outage is possibly due to a transformer outage in the area of County Line Road and Somerset Avenue.
Outages are being reported in Village Park, Brookhill, Twin Oaks, Tamarind Park and Raintree areas.
Some traffic lights are out as well.
JCP&L estimates power to be restored by 9:30 PM.
UPDATE 8:10 PM: Power has been restored to some areas. The rest is expected to be restored by 9:30 PM.

Called and was told they are very busy yet their web site shows that this is the only outage in all of Monmouth and ocean county
Thanks for the info. Power just came on. Out for an hour.
JCPL being busy is not unusual. They are trying to catch up on work that was either scheduled to be done today before emergencies came in and the crews were rerouted..there was such an emergency in lakewood today on Airport Rd I heard of as I was in the area..It is not just a small company this company is First Energy and they are Nationwide..so they saying they are busy could mean over their entire network, not just NJ or Ocean County
The Lakewood township should be aware that the library’s A/C is running on Sundays in the summer.
We must appreciate everything hashem gives us and we take electricity for granted!Thank you Hashem for giving us power!

I am just another citizen and I appreciate you looking out for waste of taxpayer dollars. but I think that the library has to run the AC too keep the humidity down inside. paper absorbs humidity and so many books might get ruined if the building had no AC for two humid days in July. Add all the computer equipment and I think they do not have the option NOT to run the AC over the weekend even if no is in the building.
