PECO engineers to check 7-4 electric grid

While knocking on doors in 4th precinct of the 7th Ward recently, I heard from many residents along parts of Campbell Ave, Hastings Ave, Ridgeway Ave and Academy Lane that they have had ongoing problems with frequent and prolonged power outages. They described that their power goes out many times when neighbors in nearby sections do not lose power, and their power outages were longer in duration.

I contacted Acting Township Manager Larry Gentile and asked him to contact PECO to let them know of this problem. Mr. Gentile contacted PECO promptly. Due to that request, PECO Engineers will perform a reliability study in your area in about 3 – 4 weeks.

If you live in that area, keep me posted on any progress.

Just a preliminary example of the responsiveness and quality of constituent services I will be able to provide should I be elected 7th Ward Commissioner!
