He reported there were about twenty thousand homes in the northern part of Middlesex County that lost power about three (3) hours ago of which part of the problem was a mechanical failure at the PSE &G Sewaren Generating Station and areas of Sayreville, Perth Amboy, Rahway and parts of Woodbridge Township also lost power. He said PSE &G has assured us that they expect to have the problem solved by this evening and have it up and running shortly thereafter. He went on to say there are close to one thousand homes in Carteret and one hundred thousand homes in Middlesex County that still do not have power from Hurricane Sandy and this is being worked on daily. He said we had significant damage in our Waterfront Park, at the Library /Community Center as well as damage to the Recreation Building and the DPW, so there is quite a bit of emergency work that needs to be done. In addition there is public and private damage in Carteret which exceeds sixteen million dollars and this is part of a twenty billion dollar estimate state wide.
