PECO lists 197 Delco customers out as Council meets today

PECO’s October 20, 8:51 a.m. EDT report lists 197 Delaware County customers affected across four electric outages, including 44 in Marple. County Council’s preliminary agenda meeting is scheduled for today at 1 p.m.; its regular meeting follows Wednesday at 1 p.m.

Electric outages active in the dated utility snapshot; incident-level restoration unverified. No new material action found in completed county governance records successfully reviewed since Monday. Council’s current packet revisions and earlier motion outcomes remain incompletely verified. A generic vote display is not evidence that unresolved meetings took no action.

PECO for electric restoration; Delaware County Council for its public meetings; county election officials for election deadlines; PennDOT for scheduled roadwork; Aqua for drinking-water notices.

October 20 utility snapshot, 8:51 a.m. EDT. Council preliminary: October 20, 1 p.m.; regular: October 21, 1 p.m., first floor, Government Center, 201 W. Front Street, Media.

No recorded vote.

• Monday’s morning county report listed 13 customers across one outage. The increase does not identify matching incidents or establish a start time, cause or restoration estimate for the four county outages. PECO labels the selected 44-customer Marple incident’s probable cause planned maintenance, its status Scheduling Crew and restoration Pending Assessment; the Delaware Newtown row lists zero.
• Use PECO’s live tracker and customer notices for updates, and stay away from downed or sparking wires. No affected-street boundary or ward assignment is established. The Marple probable-cause label must not be applied to the other county outages.
• The county’s separate Council calendar confirms today and tomorrow’s 1 p.m. meetings. The CivicClerk portal again returned ‘Please contact the site owner for access.’ Current contracts, spending proposals, revisions and earlier vote tallies could not be completely checked there. The restriction is specific to this review and does not establish improper withholding or misconduct.
• The county planning documents for October 15 remain unchanged from the previously reported update. They identify applications considered, not the recommendation letters or municipal approvals. No new county planning outcome is claimed.
• Upcoming reminders, not new rules: October 27 is the last day to apply for a mail-in or civilian absentee ballot; completed ballots must reach the county election office by 8 p.m. November 3. Yesterday’s registration deadline has passed.
• PennDOT’s unchanged October 16 notice schedules flagging and lane closures on Bryn Mawr Avenue, Foxes Run Bridge to County Line Road in Radnor, October 22–23 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following mornings, weather permitting. This is scheduled work, not confirmation of an active Tuesday 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. Its map could not display in this browser. No additional new emergency warning was identified in the official sources checked; the review is not a countywide all-clear.

Utility totals are time-stamped service information, not a guarantee at an individual address. Council meeting times are confirmed, while residents still need current packets to understand the spending and contract proposals before action.

• What incident-specific restoration estimates and affected-street footprints apply to the county outages?
• Where can residents obtain accessible current Council packets and a motion-level record during this session’s portal restriction?
• When will Aqua issue a dated status update on the regional notice?

No materially comparable prior decision identified.

No incident matching, countywide maintenance cause, weather causation, contamination or improper motive is inferred. Calendar listings and prior planning agendas do not establish approval.

• October 20 and 21, 1 p.m.: check Council notices and accessible packet revisions; verify exact adopted motions, financial terms and member positions after the regular meeting.
• October 22–23 nights: check PennDOT and 511PA for Radnor work changes before traveling.
• October 27: mail-in/civilian absentee application deadline; November 3, 8 p.m.: completed-ballot receipt deadline.
