Power Outages Possible With PECO Pole Work

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA —PECO crews will be working on New Falls Road between Vermillion and Orchard Drive through Wednesday to transfer equipment to a new pole.

Work will occur from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Crews may need to temporarily interrupt service to safely complete some of this work.

New aerial devices called reclosers will be installed. When a problem occurs, like a fallen tree limb, lightning strike, or vehicle accident, the recloser stops the flow of electricity on the line and automatically restores power where possible, thus minimizing the impact on customers.

PECO will work with local residents to ensure they are informed in advance of any planned interruptions.

PECO also said it would closely with township officials to minimize the impact on traffic and pedestrians whenever possible.

Access to services such as trash removal, student transportation and emergency vehicles will be maintained during construction.
