Recovery Update: Up to 1,000 Summit Residents to Remain Without Power This Week

This alert from the City of Summit is an update on storm recovery. It was released around 2p.m.

JCP&L crews are in Summit today replacing poles and electrical lines in order to restore electric service to homes and businesses.

Tomorrow another 1,100 customers are estimated to have power restored with meaningful progress over the coming days. JCP&L is reporting that while more of the community will have power as of tomorrow evening, as many as 1,000 customers in Summit will still be with out power as of Saturday.

Due to the lowering temperatures, the City suggests you find shelter with friends, family or a neighbor who has heat and power. 

When street-by-street estimates of power restoration are received from JCP&L, they will be posted on the City’s website. 

Summit public schools will be open on Wednesday, November 7th. Any changes to the schedule will be announced by the Superintendent of schools. Safety is our number one priority and we urge tremendous patience, carpooling, and vigilance. 

The YMCA, 67 Maple Street is now available for overnight sheltering. Warming/Charging/Showers are available between 5:30 am-10:00 pm. 


The Summit Recreation Center, the Elks Club, the Connection, the Summit YMCA, Unitarian Church, and Summit Library will serve the community as warming and charging stations. WiFi is available at the Summit Recreation Center until 8 pm tonight 

Residents seeking medication refills who are unable to obtain scripts from their doctor can bring empty bottles to either the Summit Liss Pharmacy Berkeley Heights Walgreens or Springfield CVS These locations will provide a temporary refill even if not previous clients.

SAGE is in need of donations for Meals on Wheels for our elderly and disabled shut-ins. The list of items is available on the city’s website.
