PECO is in the final stages of the electrical upgrade project. PECO states that the attached letter was mailed approximately on May 13th notifying customers of power outages. Additionally, PECO stated that customers would also receive a separate notice 72 hours in advance of the scheduled interruption. The Borough has had numerous complaints that these notifications had not been received.
As they wrap up the project, PECO will be scheduling brief power interruptions (approx. 4-6 hours in duration) between May 31 – June 10. The Borough is in communication with PECO attempting to obtain the remaining disruption schedule so it can be distributed to Borough residents by email blast, Facebook and on the Borough website.

There will be a free workshop on the topic of rain barrels hosted by the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership, Inc. The workshop will be held at the Glenside Free Library on Thursday, March 3rd from 5:30pm-7:30pm.
The workshop is a chance to learn about stream pollution and ways residents can make an impact. Rain Barrels are a stream protection tool and TTF will cover how they work, why they are important, their components, location on your property and if they are suitable for your home and needs.
You do not have to purchase a rain barrel to attend the meeting, nor is it required to attend the meeting to purchase a barrel. For those who order, TTF will have the barrels shipped to a central location close to Glenside within two weeks for pick up. Each barrel costs $75.
