What changed
PECO’s October 18, 8:42 a.m. EDT report lists 17 Delaware County customers affected across four electric outages. The county’s registration deadline for the November 3 election is Monday, October 19.
Current status
Electric outages active in the dated utility snapshot; incident-specific restoration unverified. No new material action found in completed-action records successfully reviewed since Saturday. The county meeting portal remains inaccessible to this session; that prevents a complete agenda and outcome check, not proof no action occurred.
Responsible body and meeting date
PECO for electric restoration; Delaware County election officials for registration; PennDOT for scheduled road restrictions.
PECO snapshot: October 18, 2026, 8:42 a.m. EDT. Registration deadline: October 19. Scheduled Radnor milling: October 22 and 23 nights.

What the record says
- Saturday’s PECO county snapshot listed 173 affected customers across eight outages. Sunday’s lower total does not identify matching incidents, prove exactly 156 customers were restored, or establish cause, start time or restoration estimates. The Marple and Delaware Newtown rows both list zero Sunday. Street-level geography is unavailable from this summary, so no ward or precinct assignment is made.
- Use PECO’s live tracker and customer notices for updates. Stay away from downed or sparking wires and report them at 1-800-841-4141; the aggregate report does not establish any downed-wire incident.
- The county election calendar identifies October 19 as the last day to register before the November 3 election and October 27 as the mail-in/civilian absentee application deadline. These are approaching deadlines, not newly adopted changes. The county specifies that mailed applications must be received by 4:30 p.m. October 19; online applications may be submitted through 11:59 p.m. Its registration office lists 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. operating hours.
- The county’s CivicClerk portal again returned ‘Please contact the site owner for access.’ Current Council and Juvenile Detention Board agenda revisions and earlier motion-level outcomes could not be verified there. No improper motive or legal violation is inferred. Saturday’s planning-record update is not repeated as a new approval.
- Unchanged practical notice: PennDOT schedules lane closures with flagging on Bryn Mawr Avenue, Foxes Run Bridge to County Line Road in Radnor, October 22 and 23 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following mornings, weather permitting. This is scheduled milling, not an active Sunday closure.
- Aqua’s September 21 regional taste/odor notice remains posted without a dated resolution update; Aqua says standards are met. It is not a boil-water advisory. The disruption map failed to display in this browser. No additional new emergency warning was identified in the official local and county postings successfully checked; this is not a countywide all-clear.
Why it matters
The utility count is a time-stamped service snapshot, not an assurance that every address has power. Monday’s registration cutoffs differ by application method; scheduled roadwork can affect next week’s travel.
“Why?” questions officials should answer
- What incident-specific restoration estimates and street footprints apply to the remaining outages?
- Where can residents obtain current county agenda revisions and motion records while the portal is restricted?
Comparable prior decisions
No materially comparable prior decision identified.
Consistency review
Outage aggregates do not establish incident matching or weather causation. Access limitations do not establish concealment or misconduct.
Deadlines and what to track next
- October 19: registration deadline; use the county’s official application and status-check resources.
- Before the county meetings previously listed for October 20–21: obtain fresh agenda, time and location confirmation; the restricted portal did not supply that verification today.
- October 22–23 nights: check PennDOT and 511PA for changes before traveling through the Radnor milling area.
