HATBORO, PA —PECO will perform work in the borough starting at the end of the month which is expected to last for two months.
PECO will be replacing natural gas equipment including the installation of new underground piping in the area of Warminster Road between Byberry Road and Tanner Avenue starting on Dec. 30.
The work will take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
PECO is currently expecting work to be completed by February 2025.
While work is taking place, drivers can expect delays on and around Warminster Road.
Drivers should seek alternative routes to avoid the work area when work is taking place.
The work will be performed by Riggs Distler, a qualified PECO contractor. If you have any questions or to schedule an appointment, please contact John Jester of Riggs Distler at 609-828-8919.
Most of the work will be performed outdoors, but to safely connect your property to the new natural gas main, PECO or a PECO contractor will need to turn off the natural gas service and then enter your property to relight your appliances after the connection.
PECO will need access to the natural gas appliances or equipment in your home so they can perform this work and later that day to restore service and relight any appliances.
At this time, PECO will also be relocating any indoor natural gas meters to the exterior of the building to a location that is above-ground and is as close as practical to the existing indoor location.
This relocation work is necessary for the safety of PECO employees, contractors, customers, and communities and is mandated by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.
Before work begins, customers should mark any customer-owned facilities present on the property.
Examples of customer-owned facilities include, but are not limited to, water services, sewer laterals, septic tanks, underground cables, drainage pipes, security lines, private lighting, dog fences, and sprinkler systems.
The work may occur in roadways as well as on sidewalks and potentially on your property. PECO will also work closely with local officials to minimize the impact on traffic and pedestrians whenever possible.
Any areas impacted on your property will be repaired, the streets will be repaved, and all areas will be restored to their original condition.
If you have any other questions about this work and/or would like to provide any supplemental information, please call PECO Work Inquiries at 610-832-6420 or email GasWorkInquiries@exeloncorp.com.
