Two separate utility issues were being experienced in Brick Wednesday afternoon.

A total of 1,249 customers are without power, according to Jersey Central Power & Light.

Brick Patch left a message for a company spokesman asking when the issue was expected to be resolved but has yet to hear back.

A second issue, a natural gas main break, has occurred in the northbound lanes of Route 35 south of Curtis Point Drive, and the right shoulder of the roadway is closed down for repair work. Drivers are being urged to use caution, especially given construction traffic in the area.
