A message from Mayor Hsueh to West Windsor Residents –
The Township is continuing to monitor the efforts of the power companies and remains in daily communications with them. Restoration of power has occurred in several sections of our community. JCP&L estimates that power should be restored to their remaining customers November 4th or 5th. Our Public Works Department is working hard to collect trees and brush from the curbs as quickly as they can. Developments and streets are beginning to look more normal. The Police, Emergency Services, and Public Works personnel remain available to assist residents still impacted by the storm. The Township’s Emergency Management Team is monitoring the situation throughout the weekend and responding to the evolving needs of the community. Township staff are volunteering at the Reception Centers at the Senior Center and High School for the comfort of our residents. Because of the storm, the Township has relocated polling districts 4, 9, 12, 13 and 16 for the November 6th general election. Please look at our website for specifics. The following present today’s information for West Windsor Residents.
