Power has been largely restored to the Levittown area after recent storms left thousands without electricity over the weekend.

Slight more than 250 customers remained without power as of 8 a.m. Monday, a significant improvement from the peak outages on Thursday night.

The restoration comes as temperatures are expected to be close to 100 degrees.

While some trees still remain felled, main roadways in the area are open. However, tree cleanup continues in Levittown and surrounding areas.

More than 3,000 PECO staffers were on the ground throughout the weekend, and they were supplemented by 2,600 additional workers from PECO contractors and utility companies across multiple states. Line workers and tree crews from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and ComEd in Chicago assisted with restoration efforts in Bucks County.

PECO cautioned that additional storm damage could still be discovered and that could lead to new outages.

PECO officials asked residents to stay away from downed power lines and damaged electrical equipment, and to report any downed wires by calling 800-841-4141.
