PECO officials have told LevittownNow.com they hope to have the customers who remain in the dark back online sometime Sunday.
A customer service center has been opened by PECO at the Lower Makefield Township building at 1100 Edgewood Road. The center will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sunday and Monday. Utility representatives will be able to help customers in the dark.
Several traffic signals in Falls appeared to still be powered by generators Friday night. Nearby, the all to familiar sound of home generators could be heard along a portion of New Falls Road in Levittown.
