PECO reports 88 Delaware County customers affected; Council outcomes await verification

PECO’s 9:11 a.m. October 22 report lists 88 Delaware County customers affected across six outages. Separately, Delaware County’s regular Council meeting occurred October 21, but the motion-level outcome has not yet been verified: the county says regular-meeting recordings are posted by noon the following day, and the linked CivicClerk portal remained inaccessible during this review.

Active electric-outage snapshot; locations and restoration times were not established from the county summary. Marple and Newtown each showed zero affected customers. County Council outcome not yet verified; no October 21 contract, expenditure, resolution or amendment is reported as approved here.

PECO for electric service; Delaware County Council and County Clerk for meeting records.

PECO snapshot: October 22, 2026, 9:11 a.m. EDT. County Council regular meeting: October 21, 2026, 1 p.m.; recording scheduled by county policy for posting by noon October 22.

No recorded vote.

• PECO reported 88 customers affected across six Delaware County outages at 9:11 a.m. The county summary does not supply every affected street, incident start time, cause or restoration estimate.
• Marple Township and Newtown Township each showed zero customers affected and zero outages in PECO’s municipality filter. The countywide figure should not be mapped to either municipality.
• Customers should use PECO’s address-specific outage tracker for incident boundaries and estimates. A restoration estimate is not confirmation that service has been restored; stay away from downed or sparking wires and report emergencies to 911.
• The county’s official meeting page says regular-meeting recordings are posted by noon on the following Thursday. At publication time that deadline had not passed.
• The linked CivicClerk public portal returned “Please contact the site owner for access.” This is a review limitation, not evidence that the county improperly withheld records.
• County environmental-health postings show no item newer than the September 28 Lansdowne positive mosquito sample. That entry concerns a mosquito sample; no human case is inferred.
• Aqua’s September 21 regional taste-and-odor notice remains posted for parts of Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties. Aqua says the water meets state and federal standards; it is not a boil-water advisory.

Residents affected by an outage need incident-specific restoration information, while county taxpayers need a motion-level record before contracts or spending are described as approved. Today’s posting deadline provides a concrete verification point.

• Which municipalities and streets account for the six PECO outages, when did they begin, and what restoration estimates apply?
• What motions did County Council adopt, deny, amend or table October 21, and how did each member vote?
• Which contracts, purchases, agreements or amendments carried financial obligations, and what were their exact terms?
• Will the county restore public access to the current packet and attachments through its linked portal?

No materially comparable prior decision identified.

The outage total is a dated utility snapshot, not a finding of recurring failure or official fault. Portal inaccessibility is reported only as a verification limit. No misconduct, concealment or improper action is alleged.

• October 22 by noon: check the county’s official meeting page for the regular-meeting recording and verify motions against the packet or later minutes.
• During an outage: use PECO’s address-specific tracker; verify service restoration separately from an estimate.
• October 27: deadline to apply for a mail-in or civilian absentee ballot for the November 3 election, subject to the county’s official election instructions.
• Next desk run: record any verified Council tallies, contract values, amendments and individual positions.
