Press Release

NEW YORK, NY, Mar 03, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Con Edison (NYSE: ED) is working closely with officials of the City of Rye and the Village of Mamaroneck in Westchester County to assist residents who were forced from their homes by the flooding experienced in the area on Friday, March 2. At the request of the municipalities and to ensure safety, power was cut to approximately 400 homes and buildings.

Residents and businesses affected by the flooding may contact officials located in a trailer at Cedar and Purchase Streets in Rye and at the firehouse at Mamaroneck Avenue and Boston Post Road in Mamaroneck for information about coping with flood damage and getting services restored. If power is off, residents must contact a licensed electrician to begin the restoration process. After any needed repairs have been made, the electrician will call an inspector to certify repairs. Con Edison can then come to customer premises to restore service.

Con Edison will continue to work with officials in Rye and Mamaroneck for the safe restoration of services to residents and businesses.
