Narberth News and Notes

September 21 Update of PECO Gas Project

9/25/2018

 
From Utility Line Services:
​"​This is to update you all on our progress in Narberth that we have  to date and prep you for what is upcoming. In the next couple weeks.  All the services on the Essex Ave project will be complete today.  The retirement for this job is scheduled for this upcoming Monday weather permitting.  This will complete all of the work on the following streets:

  • Essex Ave from Haverford to Montgomery Ave
  • Wynnedale from Essex to the end of the road
  • Stepney Place from Essex to Montgomery
  • Shady Lane from Wynnedale to Montgomery
  • Elm Terrace from Essex to the end of the road
  • Barrie Rd from Essex to the end of the road
 
The service crews are currently have half the services complete and should be complete with the services on this job by the end of the week barring any issues with customer contacts.  If we get the services complete on Forrest by the end of the week we will also have the Low Pressure Cast Iron mains retired on Forrest Ave between Woodbine and Haverford As well as Woodbine Ave between Narberth Ave and Essex Ave.  Once the services are complete on Forrest these crews will progress to Narberth Ave between Haverford Ave and Montgomery Ave.
 
My other grouping of service crews are working on Wayne Ave between Essex and Narberth Ave as well As Price Ave between Grayling and Narberth Ave.  These streets should be completing over the next two weeks and we are set up to retire the mains right behind the last service transfer on each project.
 
I have had a crew working to prepare the retirements on all active jobs to expedite the retirements and complete our work for this year as quickly as possible.  Since there is no area for a check on the attached spreadsheet for retirement prep they will be marked as main installation, but be assured all the main installation is complete for this year’s work.  This will only be small holes plated for the retirement preparations.
Updated project spreadsheet here.

Witches of Narberth - October 27
​Before the Halloween Parade and trick-or-treating get started, there's a free family event that's become a Main Line kid favorite – The Witches of Narberth!

On Saturday, October 27, 2018, at 1pm, on the corner of Forrest and Haverford Avenues, Halloween kicks off with this popular annual scavenger hunt. Children of all ages are invited to join in this free event, where kids search downtown Narberth high and low for thirteen of the witchiest witches around. They collect treats along the way, and then return to the start to collect a Halloween prize. Costumes are welcome, but totally optional.   The hunt goes until 4 pm or until prizes are gone. Details here.

Narberth Halloween Parade - October 30
In Narberth, kids get to wear their costume two nights in a row, because the night before Halloween is the Narberth Halloween Parade.   
The local kids all don their costumes and muster in the St. Margaret’s parking lot around 6pm.  By 6:30, the parade starts making it’s way though town, past crowds of cheering spectators.  The parade ends in Narberth Park where kids get a goody bag, cookies, juice and treats, courtesy of the Fourth of July Committee.
