Public Works crews have been performing clean-up throughout the Township after the record-breaking rains from the remnants of Hurricane Ida.
At the height of the storm yesterday, ten roadways were closed due to flooding.
Currently, Mount Pleasant Avenue and Narcissa Road are still closed. The roadway on Mount Pleasant Ave. near the bridge over the Wissahickon Creek sustained significant flood damage. The Township is working with a contractor to make emergency repairs to the roadway which started earlier today. However, due to the extensive damage, the road will be closed and impassable for several days.
On Narcissa Road, a large tree is tangled in wires and is blocking the roadway. The tree will be removed once the power lines are deenergized.
Emergency Response
Our Police Department fielded numerous call last night in addition to offering mutual aid support to Upper Dublin Township. Upper Dublin sustained devastating damage from yesterday’s storm.
Centre Square Fire Company responded to multiple calls on a very busy night and worked closely with the Police Department and surrounding agencies to resolve several serious life-threatening situations.
Power Status
Numerous sections of the Township are still without power. To report a power outage, call PECO at 1-800-841-4141 or go to www.peco.com. Do not assume that a neighbor has already called PECO.
Please do not call the Township to report a power outage or check on power restoration times as only PECO can provide this information. Assume any downed power lines are energized and do not go near them.
Best Wishes
Last night was a very difficult night for many residents and business owners in Montgomery County. We send our best wishes to all those impacted by the storm. We especially send our thoughts to our colleagues at Upper Dublin Township.
