Power Restored In N.J.

MAYS LANDING, N.J. (CBS) – Officials from Atlantic City Electric say they have successfully restored service to all customers who lost power as a result of last week's violent storms.

The majority of customers were restored by last Wednesday, but a number of outages remained this weekend due to heavy tree damage that slowed down progress and made repairs more difficult.

Officials say about 1,500 total personnel worked full force to restore power to the customers impacted by the storm.

At the storm's peak, more than 206,000 Atlantic City Electric customers lost power.
