On Tuesday, January 21st. the power was out to almost 500 accounts on the east side of Conshohocken near the intersection of Maple Street and West First Avenue. The power went out when a PECO pole collapsed into the street.
MoreThanTheCurve.com inquired with PECO, about what led to the outage. Below is the response.
The pole on West 1st Avenue and Maple Street in Conshohocken was identified for replacement to ensure reliability for our customers and was scheduled per our procedures. The replacement was initially scheduled for the end of February; however, the pole was compromised before the relocation could occur, causing an outage for 460 customers. The pole was subsequently replaced, and all equipment was transferred to the new pole. All customers were restored by 4 p.m. yesterday [the 21st].
While MoreThanTheCurve.com did report that some power was restored in the afternoon, we have seen reports from residents who didn’t get their power back until about 8:00 p.m. The Borough of Conshohocken announced just before 4:00 p.m. that it had set up a warming station at the community center, and that work to restore power could continue overnight.
