The reality is no one is in charge of PSE&G that gives a hoot about the retail (homeowner) customer.We don't appear at rate hearings and don't let anyone know how we feel except at times like now. Those who own PSE&G stock should complain at shareholders meetings.
I know this comment won't help,but it helps to vent

Ok plz you need to help us out in the village of Ridgefield Park it's day 6 no power no heat we are also in Beefen County !

Saira- i'm in Teaneck k and in the same boat as you. I have not seen a single pseg or out-of-state utility truck anywhere. Do not believe any pseg update, all they do is lie to you. Don't expect power until sometime next week. If we are that lucky.

Hackensack seems to be an afterthought because the apartment buildings in my area, Euclid & Grand have been without power, people have fled to other areas, Main Street is dark (South of Sears) and I've yet to see any trucks or work crews. I'm not very encouraged. - James Bird

Noah- Thank you for the information. I am using my phone so I will ask. Did I read the spreadsheet correctly that Teaneck k is scheduled to be restores on 11/03/2012 at 23:59? Is this estimate for the whole township of Teaneckthe or just certain sections. Also, what happens if they do not meet the deadline?

You are correct. That is what the spreadsheet says for the remaining approx 8,000 customers who are out. There's nothing specific on what happens if they don't meet that estimate, but we'll keep the updates coming.

I notice Little Ferry is missing from the focus on restoration.

Spread sheet does mentioned about little ferry by 11/4 23:59

What spreadsheet? Where can I find that?

@janu what spreadsheet

Linked at the bottom of the article: http://www.nj.gov/nj/home/features/spotlight/20121103-05-2_PSEG.pdf

Noah- Thanks for the reply. Based on what I read on another NJ news website the dates are just estimates based on no slippage and they do state that slippage will happen. To be honest I doubt Teaneck will get power back by the end of today, it is just too good to be true.

great job guys.they told me can be fixed maybe on wednesday 7 ,but great surprise i have power from friday at noon . teaneck here

Eduardo- i'm glad you got power, it's good to know. Be safe.

about gas .selfish people going with 3 or 4 containers .is emergency time guys!!!!!

Eduardo- I agree but there is no limit on gas cans and people are nervous. I only fill up one two gallon can at a time.

i dont have gas .but i refuse to stay waiting with more than 80 cars .companies are supossed to provide transportation to save gas .and be sure everybody is going to work on monday.

Just checking from out of town - our Teaneck neighborhood is apparently still dark and cold. Nice to hear progress is being made but I'd rather be home already.

any info on tilden avenue electric restoration

anything about the HS area (queen anne/teaneck and route4/\cedar)?

Going on 6 days here in Teaneck off route 4, my only complain is that the weather is dropping and its getting cold. Don't want to complain to much as others have it worst.

No power east of the railroad tracks yet somehow teaneck high looks to have power - hope we follow suit. It's getting cold and frustrated

Four hours to go to meet Teaneck deadline. I simply do not believe pseg and would prefer they say nothing rather than setting unattainable targets

Had to leave, couldn't take the torture of no electric. However, must say, we did see a crew working on a pole, at West Englewood Ave. We were jumping for joy.

its time now.. we just got power around that area by north of FDU and river road and north thumberland ave

Any one get power yet?

Still no power - 2 hours till deadline - east of railroad tracks between route 4 and cedar lane

anyone know about Stuyvesant Rd in Teaneck?

Power came up on West Englewood Ave west of Sussex Road and River Road.

Awesome news, thank you.

No power north of cedar lane between Queen Anne and Teaneck road. 10 minutes until the deadline. Won't be holding my breath. Have not seen any PSEG trucks in the area since we lost power.

Some are taking other peoples word on the interpretation of the schedule. The dates are from 11/4-11/6. As per that , teaneck would be complete by midnight 11/5.

UPDATE: The data referenced in this article was released by the Governor's Office on Saturday afternoon. It has since been changed, with new restoration estimates for Teaneck. The original info did provide a Saturday night estimate for power being restored in Teaneck. The new data changes that.

Is there power on Northumberland road ?

What does the new data say?

New data says 9,141 of 15,892 Teaneck customers still without power. 4,113 to be fixed on Sun 11/4. 4,571 on Mon 11/5. That leaves 457 Teaneck customers unaccounted for.

I hope this thing get resolve today, my dog was shivering from the damn cold. The main road by route 4 lights are still down, u figure they would get that taken care of before there's a big accident.

where is the new data. How do we access the new data

Where are the Township Council and School Board voices? Teaneck has an emergency management protocol that is being totally ignored. It involves all resources, the use of buildings with heat for shelters - and not a word.

Where is the updated data. I see an ÊTR for Teaneck on 11/3 at 11:59pm yet Noah and others are referring to new data

I'm not sure why you guys can't find the data...it's in the blue text...at the end of the article.

http://www.nj.gov/nj/home/features/spotlight/20121103-05-2_PSEG.pdf

I'm so sick of this whole situation. PSEG is inept. They hold a monopoly over the entire state...yet when people are trying to contact them for help...or hope...just to get an idea when they might get power back.... you can't get a hold of them. Or, if you do...they pretty much tell you, "we don't know". I hope the state learned by this mess, and consider allowing more energy companies to come in, possibly divide the state in to districts, and give different power companies districts... PSEG has proven they are unable to respond to the needs of the state.

What really boils my blood is, I heard that PSEG dedicated a lot of man power and resources into restoring the MetLife Arena in the Meadowlands, this past week, so that we have football today. Cause I guess football is more important than say, heat or power to half a million people still sitting in the dark...cold. PSEG you FAIL.

So nice that deadlines can come and go without any apologies from the govner or ps"freakin"g

Janu, thank you for the update :)

Can someone explain what the new data means.

I see Cust affected Day 1 plan
Cust affected Day 2 plan
Cust affected Day 3 plan

I do not live in Teaneck. My town will be restored on day 2 and day 3. but my question is which day is Day 2. The date on top of the page say 11-4 to 11-6 so can I assume day 1 is 11-4?
Any help appreciated.

or is day 1 on 11-3. as the bottom of the sheet says 11-3.

Everyone, we have reached out to PSE&G's media relations office for an explanation of this new data. Please stay tuned.

This is ridiculous. This is the third major black out in Teaneck over the past 3 years and nothing changes. It's always the same nonsense. I do thank the linemen but whoever is running PSE&G has no idea what they are doing.

The bottom of the page, is the date the spread sheets were typed/made. The work dates or rather effective dates are 11/4-11/6. Leaves us with 3 days. Day 1, 2&3.

So is day 1 today?

That would be correct.

Yes. That's how I read it. Day 1 is 11/04 (today).

Hello, Anyone know if we got power back on Sagamore Ave, Teaneck?

Ok folks, so there's lots of talk about frustration with both PSEG and the Township's lack of communication, myself included. However, the question is, once things get back to normal, what will we do about this with both PSEG and the Township?

There will be the usual useless town meetings where PSEG reps will answer questions, nod there heads and try and shut everyone up. PSEG will give the usual lip service about this being an unprecedented storm causing more damage and outages than the previous storm. If many of you have not noticed this is PSEG's usual excuse. Each storm causes more damage than the previous. Hurricane Irene caused unprecedented damage, then the October snow storm caused more damage than Irene, then Sandy even more. I understand that these were tough storms, but it does show that PSEG cannot properly plan and respond to storm damage yet they can very well give people a run around and excuses.

So there are two choices.

A. Everyone walks away after life gets back to normal and then whine and whine once this happens again.

B. We take action, hold the township responsible for their abysmal lack of communication and we force the township to force PSEG to make those infrastructure changes that need to be made in order to stabilize power to Teaneck.

So which route do the residents of want to take? I say B, however that is just me. If not you'll be back in the cold and dark during the next big storm.

Does any one know if there is power on Rutland Ave?

There is power on Maitland and Ogden. Hopefully since Rutland is between the two there is power but I am not certain.

Thank you for the info.

@Kay where did you sign up for the ENS? I get emails from Ellie Katz which are great! He isn't the mayor anymore, yet is updating constantly for various things going on from events to serious issues like this. To be added to his personal email list for periodic updates, please email him at: Katz07666@gmail.com

Click "Alerts" on the menu bar on the front page of the site.

Any updates on what is being done to power Cranford, GraysonN Edgemont and Cherry Lane? No trucks, trees on Cranford removed but still no end in sight. Noah; any updates

Not for specific streets, but here's new PSEG estimates and town info http://www.pseg.com/pdf/PSE_G%20Workforce%20Schedule20121104%200600.pdf

Anybody lives near Belle ave and Beatrice? Is the electricity back? Thank you so much

if there are just 1,100 customer out in teaneck then they must ALL be in our neighborhood.

Can anyone confirm or deny a rumor I heard (from someone who should be in the know) that PSEG turned away over 100 crews simply because they weren't union.

Still without power, and no relief in sight....

Night 7...still no power/heat/hot water or any communication from the leadership of this town.
Will there be a refund on our property taxes? Cuz no one has earned a penny of my money that i work dam hard for!

We recently bought a house in town and must say, after hearing about the power outages, changes must be made. We all need to be heard and stand up for a committee that's going to stand up for everyone and get answers.

What is the specific problem that is preventing the HS area and Country Club from getting back on line. I have friends down the shore -- or were actually hit -- who have power back.

Why are there no work crews out near Cherry Lane today?

Teaneck SUCKS........ This town has no leadership. The town has a huge DPW but no one is doing anything. The trees still are on the streets..... The power is still out...... I think the town should return a part of our taxes...... since we are not getting any town services......

If you check with PSE&G they will tell you that power has been restored to the country club area which, of course, is not accurate. They asked me to submit another work order, but what if their dispatchers also think power has been restored? How urgently will they dispatch someone? There are no work crews in our area and on Alpine Dr. a telephone pole is still blocking the street.

One must be proactive and continue to call . Don't assume they know or that your next door neighbor has called.

@Gary a crew with poles is working on Barbara Drive. One of them said it would take a while since they need to repair/replace 3 or 4 of them. Hope they will keep working throughout the area. Meanwhile, be sure to email bergenoem@pseg.com about the downed line and outage. Copy the mayor so he can follow up

Anybody working on Warren Parkway or Alpine?

Power has been restored on Midwood road as of 6PM on Monday 11/05

Night 8...Come home from work & Still no power...called pseg and the best they can tell me is that they'll add my phone # to their update phone list for this area...really pseg?
So then i check fb and by chance saw someone commented on the mayors page and that he is sending out updates once people email and let him know where is without power....really mr.mayor?? I have to let YOU know which portions of ur town is without power..REALLY!!!!
M.hameed@teanecknj.gov.... let the mayor know his residents are suffering!
