PECO Begins Undergound Pipe Project In Hatboro

HATBORO, PA —PECO will begin installing new underground piping in the area of Warminster Road between Byberry Road and Tanner Avenue starting Monday, borough officials said.

Work will take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is expected to be completed by October, officials said.

This work will be performed by Riggs Distler, a qualified PECO contractor.

Anyone with questions or to schedule an appointment, please contact Steve Resh of Riggs Distler at 609-519-9794.

PECO has mailed notices containing this information to all residents impacted by this work.

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 properties to relight 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 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.

The relocation work is necessary for the safety of PECO’s 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 their 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 on roadways, sidewalks, and potentially properties.

PECO will also work closely with local officials to minimize the impact on traffic and pedestrians whenever possible.

Any areas impacted on properties will be repaired, the streets will be repaved, and all areas will be restored to their original condition.

Anyone with questions and/or would like to provide any supplemental information should call PECO Work Inquiries at 610-832-6420 or email GasWorkInquiries@exeloncorp.com.
