Mayor is told power company will work 'through the night' to complete restoration, but he doubts Sunday midnight goal will be met.
The number of Bernardsville households left without power was down to about 227 out of 3,500 JCP&L customers on Sunday evening, but Borough Mayor Lee Honecker said that, two weeks after Hurricane Sandy, he considers that number unacceptable. Monday update On Monday at about 10:30 a.m., the JCP&L website said that 148 Bernardsville customers remained without power, as were 83 customers in Bedminster. Honecker said he drove around the borough prior to Sunday's 4 p.m. conference call with Jersey Central Power and Light and found that the Twin Lakes area, including Hillside Avenue, Lakeview Drive and other nearby streets appeared untouched by restoration efforts.

Outage are going to 'fluctuate' as power is restored, spokesman Ron Morano said.
More than 8,000 workers are in JCP&L's territory in New Jersey working on the restoration of power after Sandy's arrival a week ago Monday night, Jersey Central Power & Light spokesman Ron Morano said on Monday afternoon. "Every day, we bring more crews in here," Morano said. He said that 3,800 line workers and 1,500 foresters were at work in the state on Monday. But in response to questions why progress is slow in some areas — including Bernards Township, where the numbers of houses without power have reduced marginally in the last few days, and outages stubbornly remain for about half of the town's population — Morano stressed that estimates for restoration are estimates, not guarantees. "We are also continuing to work on a lot of big …
