Notice to Members:

In New Jersey, when trees fall on power line, the utility company (like PSE&G) is generally responsible for removing the tree and repairing any damage to their equipment. This includes the power line and associated infrastructure.  However, homeowners are typically responsible for trees on their property, including the removal of debris after the utility company has addressed the downed power lines.

FLOODED CELLARS:  All cellars in Winfield are prone to flood.  There are numerous reasons for water in the cellar which include but are not limited to:  sump pump malfunction; seepage; ruptured water heater or water line; sewer back-up; washing machine overflow, etc.  If there is water in the cellar, the member is responsible for mopping up the water and airing the cellar to dry it up.
