Construction

Roberts Avenue Storm Sewer Project

The Township is aware of an existing storm sewer issue on Roberts Avenue. The Township is in the process of gathering information for a formal design. It is anticipated that work will be completed late Winter of 2025. Public Works has temporarily installed steel plates over effected areas in the roadway and will continue monitoring them until the project is completed. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we work to address this matter.

PECO Work in Township

PECO is continuing to work on upgrading and installing new equipment to modernize and enhance the local electric grid.  This project is part of PECO’s Reliability & Resiliency Plan to invest $1.36 billon through2025 on targeted reliability-focused infrastructure investments.  These investments will help strengthen the local electric infrastructure to better withstand more frequent and damaging storms, deliver enhanced reliability for customers, and enable the adoption of clean energy resources.

About this project:

  • PECO is investing more than $335,000 to enhance the local electric infrastructure in the Township.
  • Existing lower voltage electric circuits will be upgraded to higher voltages to better meet customer needs.
  • A machine referred to as a directional bore machine will be used to install new conduit as well as new underground electrical cable throughout your neighborhood.
  • New equipment, including pad-mount transformers could be installed or replaced as necessary.
  • This work will help to improve reliability – reducing the frequency of outages and minimizing the duration of outages that do occur and will increase the ability for customers to install clean energy resources, like solar generation.
  • Work will occur along Herrick Avenue, Roselyn Drive, Merle Way, Crestwood Avenue, and E. Bristol Road.
  • Construction will begin in mid-August 2024.  The project is expected to be completed by the end of October 2024.
  • Work will be performed by PECO crews and qualified PECO contractors

Crews may need to temporarily interrupt service to safely complete some of this work.  PECO will work with local residents to ensure they are informed in advance of their activities and any planned interruptions.  to ensure you receive all outage updates, please confirm that your phone number is accurate in PECO’s system through MyAccount at peco.com/myaccount or by calling PECO at 1-800-494-4000.
