The utility company said they will work along Sparrow Lane, Hulmeville Road, East Parker Street, and Sparrow Turn in the township’s Langhorne section.
The project, which will be performed by PECO and contracted crews, will start this month and be completed by the end of June.
“Crews may need to temporarily interrupt service to safely complete some of this work. PECO will work with local residents to ensure they are informed in advance of our activities and any planned interruptions. To ensure you receive all outage updates, please confirm your phone number on your PECO account at peco.com/myaccount or by calling PECO at 1-800-494-4000,” according to a notice from PECO.

The company said they will work with township officials to reduce traffic impacts. They also will work to keep access for bus stops, emergency vehicles, and waste hauling.
The $250,000 project will upgrade existing lower voltage electric circuits to higher voltage circuits. New pad-mount transformers could be installed or replaced if needed, according to PECO.

“A machine referred to as a directional bore machine will be used to install new conduit as well as new underground electrical cable throughout,” the notice read.
PECO said the work is part of a plan to spend $1.36 billion through 2025 on infrastructure improvements.
The company has undertaken other reliability projects in Middletown Township and Langhorne Borough over the past few years.
