Lavallette officials said Wednesday that an overnight power outage that an announcement said could last up to seven hours will be postponed indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Borough officials said Tuesday that JCP&L would be conducting emergency maintenance on infrastructure that would cause a potential power outage in the borough between 11 p.m. Wednesday night and 6 a.m. Thursday morning. The message ended with a number of tips and reminders for residents. The new announcement came Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

“After a meeting with Borough officials, JCP&L has agreed to postpone scheduled repairs to Lavallette’s electrical grid indefinitely,” Lavallette announced. “There will be no scheduled outage. Thank you.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, JCP&L officials chalked the news about a power outage up to a miscommunication with borough officials and said the repairs would be taking place \u2013 there just wouldn’t be any outages as a result.<\/p>\n

“We are making the repairs,” a representative told Shorebeat. “The repairs are happening as planned. The reason there is no outage is because we are able to re-route power to other circuits.”<\/p>\n

“We would never do any type of planned maintenance on the barrier island after Memorial Day,” the company spokesman added. “It\u2019s a last resort to have any kind of power outage.”<\/p>\n
