On Frigid Day, Conshohocken Loses Power, Has Water Main Break

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA — A power outage in Conshohocken left many without heat during freezing temperatures on Wednesday, and officials utilized warming centers to keep residents safe.

The power outage was due to utility poles coming down on West First Avenue and Maple Street, police said.

Conshohocken opened a warming station at the community center on 515 Henry Street for impacted residents.

PECO crews were on the scene late into the night addressing the issue and restoring power.

It was one of several weather-related issues in the borough Wednesday, as a water main break also impacted water service for hours from the 600 through the 1200 blocks of Fayette Street.

Traffic was delayed throughout the area as Aqua crews addressed the issue.
