ConEd equipment repairs may cause power problems
Lay off the juice a bit, requests Con Edison.
The request comes as the power giant is asking thousands of Brooklyn residents to avoid using high-energy appliances for tonight and at least the next couple of days as they make equipment repairs. Examples of such appliances include washers, dryers, and air conditioners; lights and TV sets should also be shut off.
“It will be worked on until the problems are repaired,” explained Joyce Faber, spokesperson for ConEd. “There is no specific time yet, but we will notify residents when they no longer need to conserve.”
