PECO announced today that it will be upgrading and installing new equipment to enhance natural gas infrastructure in the Willow Grove section of Upper Moreland Township beginning this month.

Work is expected to start on Monday, August 26 in the area of Madison Road between Terrace and Bartram roads. Crews will be on site Monday through Friday from 7:00am – 3:00 until sometime in October, according to the announcement. 

PECO or a PECO contractor will be turning off natural gas service and enter residents’ properties to relight appliances. Indoor meters will be relocated to the exterior of homes and buildings.

More information below:  

Prior to work beginning, customers should mark any customer owned facilities present on the property. Examples of customer owned facilities include, but are not limited to, water services, sewer laterals, septic tanks, underground cable, drainage pipe, security lines, private lighting, dog fences, and sprinkler systems.

Maintaining Safety:

  • For the safety of our crews, customers, and communities, all crews and contractors will be practicing social distancing, and we ask that all customers do the same.
  • PECO crews and contractors will be following safety protocols, including wearing additional protective equipment.
  • To ensure a safe environment when indoors, employee and contractor crews will wipe down all surfaces where the work is being performed before and after completing the work.

This work may occur in roadways as well as on sidewalks and potentially on your property. We will also work closely with local officials to minimize the impact on traffic and pedestrians whenever possible. 

Any areas impacted on your property will be repaired, the streets will be repaved, and all areas will be restored to their original condition. 

If you have any other questions about this work and/or would like to provide any supplemental information, please call PECO Work Inquiries (610) 832-6420 or email GasWorkInquiries@exeloncorp.com.

If you are not currently using natural gas and are interested in learning more about the conversion process, please call PECO New Business (866) 685-5665.
