(October 10, 2008 - Passaic, NJ) - On Monday, October 13, PSE&G will temporarily close its Passaic Customer Service Center at 651 Main Avenue to begin extensive renovations. The center is expected to reopen on or about January 2, 2009 and will provide the community with enhanced services, including a work area for local outreach agencies to assist customers with paying their heating bills, a conference room available for community groups, customer restrooms and a greeter station to direct customers to the appropriate representatives for assistance.

“Renovating this center is another step we are taking to better serve the community,” said Vaughn McKoy, director-customer service and community relations. “We want our customers to view the center  as not only a location to pay their utility bills, but also as a community hub, a place to get information they want and need about programs and services in their neighborhood.”

While the center is closed, customers will be directed to call PSE&G at 1-800-436-PSEG (7734) for general questions or 1-800-357-2262 for collections or payment-related questions. Alternatively, customers may visit one of the two Customer Service Centers closest to Passaic:
