Those on life support can receive updates

Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) is reminding customers who use electronically operated life-support equipment or who depend on private well water to register their account with the company to get updates on potential interruptions to their electric service.

JCP&L maintains a list of customers who depend on life-support equipment. Customers must complete and submit an authorization form signed by their physician.

There is also a list of homes and businesses that depend on electrically operated private wells for water.

The lists are used to contact customers should an outage affect their electric service for more than 24 hours. They are also provided to the Office of Emergency Management.

For more information or to register accounts for the programs, call 1-800-662- 3115.
