With the threat of significant accumulation, the Public Works and Police Departments would like to remind you of the of the following:
1) There will be no parking permitted on Scott Street or Pavilion Avenue beginning at 10 p.m. this evening and lasting through the duration of the storm.
2) Do Not park on the roadways unless absolutely necessary. Please use driveways where possible.
3) Do Not throw snow into the roadway. Any resident throwing snow into the roadway will receive a summons for Municipal Court, no exception.
4) When shoveling your driveway apron, please place snow to the left of your driveway (when looking to your residence), as this will result in as little snow being pushed back into your driveway as possible. It is impossible to prevent all snow from being pushed back into your driveway, so we always suggest that you wait until the snowfall has ceased to begin shoveling your apron.
5) You must remove snow from your sidewalks within twenty-four (24) hours after snowfall. If sidewalks remain untouched after this time period, the owner of the residence will receive a summons for Municipal Court.
6) Stay off of the roadways if possible. If you do not need to be on the road, please stay off of it.

PSE&G Prepares for
Winter Storm
Extra personnel and
equipment at the ready
(NEWARK, N.J. – March 13,
2017) Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G), New Jersey’s largest
electric and gas utility, is preparing for the approaching storm system that is
predicted to bring heavy snow and strong winds to the Northeast on Tuesday.
“The amount of snow and
high winds associated with this storm may bring down trees and power lines,”
said John Latka, senior vice president of electric and gas operations for
PSE&G. “We take every storm with the
potential for outages seriously, and have additional personnel scheduled and on
standby, with auxiliary equipment at the ready.”
The
utility also has extra personnel on hand to respond as quickly as possible and
handle emergency requests. Both PSE&G’s appliance service business and call
centers are prepared to respond to customer “no heat” calls as temperatures
remain low during the next several days.
In
anticipation of the storm, PSE&G is taking the following steps to ensure
that the utility is ready to respond to resulting power outages:
·
Arranging for contractors, including tree crews, to assist
the utility’s own skilled workforce.
·
Ensuring that additional supplies, including poles,
transformers and other pole-top equipment, are on hand.
·
Refueling all vehicles.
·
Testing generators at utility locations.
·
Coordinating with county and municipal emergency management
personnel to inform them of outages and expedite restoration efforts.
PSE&G urges its
customers to be cautious during and after the storm:
- Downed
wires should always be considered “live.” Do not approach or drive over a
downed line and do not touch anything that it might be in contact with.
- To
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, do not run any gasoline powered engine,
including generators and snowblowers, in a garage or any other enclosed
space.
Customers should report
downed wires or power outages by calling PSE&G’s Customer Service line at
1-800-436-PSEG. Also, customers can
report outages at www.pseg.com or by texting
“OUT” to 4PSEG (47734). The utility’s mobile-friendly website includes an
“Outage Map” that is updated every 15 minutes and displays the location and
status of power outages in PSE&G’s service area.
