While not common, electric outages do occur on the Mountainside. If your power goes out, first check to see if it’s just your house or includes your neighbors. Look outside at other homes to see if any lights are on. You can also post a question on the Google Group to ask if others have lost power.
Report it! Let Potomac Edison (subsidiary of First Energy) know that your power is out. The more owners that report the outage, the faster repairs are addressed.
