Norwood News has received as yet unconfirmed reports of a power outage affecting residents in the Williamsbridge section of The Bronx in ZIP code 10467. (This is also the ZIP code for Norwood News, and so far, our lights are on.) A user of the Citizens’ App reported on Thursday, Nov 10, at around 6.15 p.m. that, “ConEd reported a power outage affecting customers in ZIP code 10467.”

We contacted Con Edison for a status update and await their response. According to their outage map, there are some outages in New York City and in Mount Vernon it seems. However, The Bronx appeared unaffected as of around 6.30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov 10.

Jamie McShane of Con Edison later responded, saying, “We don’t have a report of anything happening here.”

In the meantime, if you have access to the internet or a phone, you can report an outage here or call 1-800-752-6633.

Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts.
