PECO Project Planned For 4 Months In Warminster

WARMINSTER TOWNSHIP, PA — PECO is planning a four-month project to bolster the local electric distribution system in Warminster starting next month.

Work is expected to occur along County Line Road, Jamison Street, Noble Street, Potter Street, Heart Street, Felton Street, Grier Street, Evans Street, Alicia Lane, Newtown Road, and Sheldon Drive.

Construction is expected to begin on June 8, with an estimated completion date of Oct. 1.

Work will be performed by PECO crews and qualified PECO contractors.

What residents will see during this project:

• We will be replacing existing underground transformers with new pad-mount transformers; replacing existing pad-mount transformers; and installing new underground electric cable.
  • This equipment is necessary to reduce electric voltage throughout neighborhoods and require several feet of clearance to allow for future maintenance.
  • Pad-mount transformers enhance reliability, are safer, and decrease restoration times when outages occur, compared to underground transformers.
• The pad-mount transformers will be installed on residential property, as close as possible to the current underground equipment that is being replaced.
• If a pad-mount transformer will be installed on your property, you will be contacted directly.
• A machine will be used to install new conduit as well as new underground electric cable throughout your neighborhood.
• Any impacted portions of yards or streets will be restored to their prior condition.
• We have developed a plan to minimize direct customer impact as much as possible and to complete the project in a safe and timely manner.
• Crews may need to temporarily interrupt service to safely complete some of this work.We will work with local residents to ensure they are informed in advance of our activities and any planned interruptions.
