Power Update: 87% Restored; 40,495 to Go

Utility companies predict that most or all of Bucks County will be restored to power by midnight Sunday.

On Saturday, local utility companies restored power to more than 50,000 customers, but they still have more than 40,000 to go. In a press release Saturday night, PECO reported that 30,000 customers remained without power in Bucks County. PPL had 5,621 and Met-Ed stated it had 4,874 customers still in the dark.

Hurricane Sandy

Water Available for Doylestown Township Residents

The township has a hose hooked up for township residents to get water.

Doylestown Township is offering water to any township resident still without power. Township workers have hooked up a hose at the township building for residents to come and get water. Residents are asked to bring their own container to fill. Many people who live in Doylestown Township depend on private wells for their water supply. The pumps in the wells depend upon electricity, so when the power goes out, many of those people will lose water, as well as power. Township officials noted that the water is potable.

Bucks Artist Pens Song, Video for Linemen

A local woman has created a song and video honoring the utility workers who are laboring night and day to pull the East Coast out of the dark.

They have been working 10-, 12- and 16-hour shifts in the days since Hurricane Sandy left nearly a million Philadelphia-area electric customers in the cold and the dark. The linemen working round-the-clock to restore power to a darkened East Coast have been unsung heroes. That is, until now. LisaBeth Weber, a Bucks County artist, has written a song and created a video to honor the contributions of people who she says are too often taken for granted. "The first responders - police, fire and EMS -  they're often thanked for their work, as they should be," Weber said. "But these linemen, who are working in sometimes really difficult situations, a lot of time, they’re saving lives, too, but no one really says thank you." Weber, who lives in …

Nov. 2: Central Bucks Power Outage Update

PECO says it is on track to have 90 percent of its customers restored by Friday evening - but many of the 10 percent still out could be in Bucks County.

Power has been restored to many in the Central Bucks area, but tens of thousands remain without electricity across the county on Friday. PECO says it still is on track to have power restored to 90 percent of its customers who lost power after Hurricane Sandy. But as days dragged on, and numbers in other counties began to fall, it became increasingly clear that many of the remaining still powerless into next week would be in Bucks County. For instant updates, follow Doylestown Patch on Facebook and Twitter. So, is Bucks County the 10 percent? Some local leaders are starting to think so. "I just got off the phone with a resident in one corner of the township, they’re without power, they’re without water. They’ve gotten three different …

Nov. 1: Central Bucks Power Outage Update

The PECO trucks are coming, the PECO trucks are coming!

House by house, block by block, the lights started blinking back on and homes started warming up. The power started to come back on in neighborhoods in and around Doylestown on Thursday for the first time since Hurricane Sandy belted the area on Monday. For those who have been in the dark, without electronic connection to the world, without light, or heat or warm showers and hot food, it was a welcome relief. But not everyone is ready to celebrate yet. As of 12:02 a.m. on Friday, thousands of PECO customers in Central Bucks County still were facing their fourth day without electricity. Doylestown Borough and Doylestown, New Britain and Plumstead townships each had 1,501 to 3,500 customers out (PECO's outage map publicly lists only ranges, …
