Power Outages in Toms River

12,000 Homes & Businesses Without Power

A transmission problem left more than 12,000 homes and businesses in the Toms River area without power Wednesday morning, according to Jersey Central Power & Light.

According to the JCP&L outage map, the outage was affecting houses in the eastern part of Toms River, as well as Seaside Heights and Seaside Park.

A malfunction in one of the high-voltage sub-transmission lines triggered the outage, according to Chris Hoenig, a JCP&L spokesman.

Crews were attempting to reroute energy transmission around the defective region in order to re-connect customers as soon as feasible.

According to Hoenig, they are still attempting to figure out what caused the incident.

"Because it's a transmission issue," Hoenig explained, "when power is restored, everyone will come back at the same moment," as opposed to when they're restoring damaged lines after a storm.

While the computer predicted that power would be restored by noon, Hoenig said he couldn't give a specific time estimate because the employees were still trying to figure out what was causing the outage.
