There was some general discussion regarding the issue of power failure in the Chestnut Grove Towne Garden Development. Councilwoman Hayden noted that when Pennsylvania One Call contacts PPL to mark the lines in the event of a water line repair, the PPL lines are never marked where they are actually located.

The Township Manager indicated she would contact the Township’s customer service representative at PPL to review this matter.
