The Borough of Dumont is working closely with PSEG to restore power as soon as possible for those residents still in the dark. The outage is directly related to flooding at the New Milford sub-station and PSEG is working diligently in an attempt to get residents back on line through various means.
As of this afternoon, PSEG maintains their position that power may not be restored until September 4, 2011. In that event, the Borough of Dumont strongly urges residents to stay with family and friends who are not experiencing a power failure. Should you not be able to do so we ask that you keep the following in mind:
- Tips for managing the power failure:
- Throw a blanket over appliances for added insulation.
- Unplug all motor-driven appliances, e.g., refrigerators and freezers and sensitive electronic equipment (TVs, microwaves and computers) to prevent a possible electrical overload when power is restored.
- You can also extend food storage by packing refrigerated milk, dairy products, meats, fish poultry, eggs, and other foods in a cooler surrounded by ice.
- Remember, electric wells and sump pumps will not operate.
- Never connect a portable electric generator to your home’s electrical system during a power outage. Under the law, you are responsible for making sure your generator’s electricity doesn’t feed back into PSEG’s power lines. Failure to do so can cause serious injuries or death.
- Remember to blow out candles and non-battery operated lighting devices before going to bed.
Additionally, Dumont residents are welcome to come to use the “Dumont Recharging Center” at Borough Hall to charge their portable devices such as cell phones, iPods, laptops, etc at any open outlet on the first floor. Outlets are available in the main corridor, the Executive Conference Room, and Council Chambers. The “Dumont Recharging Center” will be available from 9:00am until 8:00pm through Thursday and extended if necessary. If arriving prior to 4:30pm please check in with the Borough Clerk’s office; if after 4:30pm check in with the Dumont Police Department front desk located on the ground floor.
As a resident directly impacted by this outage, I’d like to personally thank my fellow neighbors during this incident and please feel free to call on me and the Borough of Dumont team should you need assistance. Hang in there!
PS – It’s not lost on me that those residents that need to read this can’t because they don’t have power to get to the internet. I ask those residents who do and are reading this to call their friends and neighbors who can benefit from this announcement. Thanks!
In response to the impact of Hurricane Irene, residents are asked to inspect their property for items that might be blown away and cause additional damage.

Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G) Company, New Jersey's largest electric and gas utility, is closely monitoring weather conditions and preparing for heavy rain and subsequent flooding in portions of northern New Jersey. The utility offers the following tips for safety and restoration:
Flooded basements:
-If customers lose electricity and their basement is flooded, notify PSE&G at 1-800-436-PSEG and call your local fire department.
-If water gets up to the height of the gas burner on a water heater or gas heater, customers can shut off the supply of gas to the unit if they know how.
-They must call PSE&G to have the gas supply turned back on because pilot lights must be lit. PSE&G will determine whether any gas controls were under water and must be replaced. If so, PSE&G would not complete the turn-on and would issue a violation tag.
Scan for hazards before entering a basement that has been flooded:
-Use extreme caution; expect floors and stairs to be oily and slippery.
-Don’t go into basements with standing water, raw sewage or obvious electric hazards.
-Stay away from the breaker box if it's in a flooded basement. Don’t go into a flooded basement if energized wires are present.
-Stay out of buildings that remain in the floodwaters.
-Inspect foundations for cracks or other damage.
-Customers should call PSE&G immediately if they smell gas 1-800-436-PSEG
Restoring electric or gas service after flooding:
-Verify with your town that your home/building can be occupied safely.
-Flooded areas of the home/building must be cleared of water.
-After water has been cleared, contact your town to perform an inspection. Inspections will be performed on an individual basis.
-If the inspector finds damage to the meter box or gas appliances, you must have a contractor make repairs.
-Following any repairs by your contractor, contact the town in order to obtain a re-inspection.
-Once the home/building has passed inspection, the town will contact PSE&G to restore service.
Monopole Lease at Borough Hall 3rd Notice
RECENTLY, THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL BURGLARIES IN TOWNS THAT ARE CONTIGUOUS TO DUMONT.
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE THE VICTIM OF A CRIME, IF YOU PRACTICE A FEW OF THE FOLLOWING COMMON SENSE CRIME PREVENTION TECHNIQUES, YOU WILL GREATLY DECREASE YOUR ODDS OF BECOMING THE VICTIM OF A BURGLARY.
1. ALWAYS CLOSE AND LOCK YOUR GARAGE DOOR WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR RESIDENCE IF ACCESS CAN BE GAINED INTO YOUR DWELLING THROUGH THE GARAGE.
2. LOCK ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS LOCATED ON THE GROUND FLOOR OF YOUR RESIDENCE WHEN YOU ARE NOT AT HOME.
3. KEEP ALL SHRUBS TRIMMED AND AWAY FROM YOUR BASEMENT AND GROUND FLOOR WINDOWS AND DOORS, OFTEN A BURGLAR WILL USE THESE THINGS AS CONCEALMENT FROM POLICE PATROLS AND NEIGHBORS AS THEY ARE BREAKING INTO A DWELLING.
4. BE COGNIZANT TO LEAVE INTERIOR / EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON TIMERS OR MOTION DETECTORS IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE HOME WHEN IT BEGINS TO GET DARK. EXTERIOR ILLUMINATION OF A DWELLING HAS PROVEN TO BE ONE OF THE BEST DETERRENTS TO BURGLARS.
5. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE AWAY FROM YOUR RESIDENCE FOR AN EXTENDED TIME PERIOD, MAKE PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE YOUR MAIL DELIVERY STOPPED, HAVE YOUR SIDEWALKS, DRIVEWAY AND WALKWAYS AROUND YOUR HOME SHOVELED IN THE EVENT OF A SNOW STORM WHILE YOU ARE AWAY. ALWAYS TRY TO HAVE YOUR RESIDENCE APPEAR TO LOOK AS THOUGH SOMEONE IS HOME.
6. BE YOUR NEIGHBORS KEEPER - IF YOU OBSERVE A SUSPICIOUS PERSON OR SUSPICIOUS VEHICLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, REPORT IT TO THE POLICE.
7. DO NOT LEAVE LAWN TOOLS, SNOW SHOVELS, OR OTHER ITEMS IN YOUR YARD THAT CAN BE USED AS A TOOL TO BREAK GLASS, OR PRY DOORS AND WINDOWS OPEN BY A BURGLAR.
ALL CRIMINALS, AND IN PARTICULAR BURGLARS, ARE OPPORTUNISTS, IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMIT A CRIME, THEY WILL.
TO REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES PLEASE CONTACT THE DUMONT POLICE DEPARTMENT AT 201-387-5000 OR FOR EMERGENCIES, DIAL 911.

The following incident was recently reported by a fireman:
He turned his CFL light bulb on and then smelled smoke after a few minutes. Four inch flames were spewing out of the side of the ballast like a blow torch! He immediately turned off the lights. He was sure it would have caused a fire if he was not right there. He took the bulb to the Fire Department to report the incident. The Fire Marshall wasn't at all surprised and said that it was not an uncommon occurrence. Apparently, sometimes when the bulb burns out there is a chance that the ballast can start a fire.
Upon doing some Internet research, it seems that bulbs made by Globe in China seem to have the lion's share of problems. Lots of fires have been blamed on misuse of CFL bulbs, like using them in recessed lighting, pot lights, dimmers or in track lighting. His was installed in a normal light socket.
The bulb was purchased at Wal-Mart. CFL bulbs are a great energy saver but make sure you buy a name brand like Sylvania, Phillips or GE and not the Globe bulbs from China .
