Atlantic City Electric – Peermont Substation Project

6/2/16 – Municipal Update

Atlantic City Electric crews continue to make progress in completing the Peermont Substation Project that will modernize and harden the electric system.  This work is necessary to continue to ensure safe and reliable electric service to residents in Avalon, Stone Harbor and the surrounding area and to help minimize outages during severe weather events.

Crews returned to 95^th Street in Stone Harbor this week to restore and repair areas that have been impacted by construction.  This work will continue until the restoration efforts are complete.

A portion of the Horizontal Directional Drilling work on 95^th Street in Stone Harbor has been completed. By the end of next week, crews will work seven days a week to complete the next step that requires pulling a cable under the Great Channel from Hallman Road in Middle Township to 95^th Street in Stone Harbor, as well as pulling cable along 95^th Street, past 3^rd Avenue to the new riser structure.

This cable will connect the second source from the mainland to our new substation in Avalon.  The work to pull the cable will take approximately two weeks. Once the cable pull is complete, the majority of equipment will be removed and there will be minimal construction impact in this area moving forward.

After the cable is successfully pulled, crews will begin the process of splicing the cable together at the manhole located on 95^th Street along with the installation of terminations and connection to the overhead circuit at the new riser structure just past 3^rd Avenue.  This process is slated to begin the last week of June and barring any unforeseen circumstances, will take approximately three days to complete. Crews will work 24 hours daily and 95^th Street will remain open for local traffic during that time.

It’s anticipated that our crews will complete all work on 95^th Street in Stone Harbor by the end of June.

We thank our customers for their continued patience and understanding as we work to complete the final stages of this reliability improvement project.

Chelsea Place Park Grand Re-Opening POSTPONED to Monday, June 20 at 9:30am

Our vision has become a reality!

The threat of significant rainfall on Monday, May 30th has prompted Stone Harbor to cancel its Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 30th.  A ceremony will still be held with the Borough and American Legion Post #331 at Noon at the Women’s Civic Club of Stone Harbor building.  An open house at American Legion Post #331 will follow immediately after the ceremony.

The National Weather Service has posted a High Wind Warning for the Borough of Stone Harbor. The warning is in effect at midnight Saturday night and continues through Sunday, April 3rd, at 12 Noon.

A front that is bringing widespread rain to our region will move over our area this afternoon. Following the frontal passage, winds are expected to increase along the Jersey Shore and be very strong overnight Saturday night through Sunday morning. Winds will be out of the west to northwest at 25-35mph with potential gusts to 60mph. These high winds, combined with the saturated ground from the rain on Friday and Saturday, may result in downed trees and tree limbs in some communities. As a result, power outages are possible throughout southern New Jersey.

If you experience a power outage, please contact Atlantic City Electric’s outage number immediately at 1-800-833-7476. You may also view the utility’s outage map at Atlantic City Electric website. Never attempt to drive over, or remove, any downed utility wire.
