WPCNR THE POWER NEWS. By John F. Bailey. August 2, 2006: According to David Maloney of The Mayor's Office, 200 White Plains residents in the Highlands remain without electricity at this hour. The power outage was first reported to WPCNR 8:45 P.M. Wednesday evening by a "CitizeNetReporter" in the Highlands.

Maloney said that White Plains Commissioner of Public Works, Joseph Nicoletti, has been in contact with Con Edison sources, and Nicoletti reports that the cause of the outage in White Plains is a malfunction in a Con Edison feeder cable in Mamaroneck. The faulty feeder has, according to Nicoletti caused outages in the Bronx and in parts of Mamaroneck as well as White Plains. The power is out indefinitely.

Maloney said there is no indication from Con Edison when the feeder problem and when White Plains residents might be restored to power. Residents may come to the Senior Center in White Plains if they need relief from the heat. If you need help contact the White Plains Police at 422-6111.
