A planned power outage by West Penn Power will temporarily turn off electricity for 96 customers in Middlesex Township on Wednesday, Dec. 14.

Todd Meyers, West Penn Power spokesman, said the power outage will take place from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m., and affect residents on Forsyth, Harbison and Windermere roads.

Meyers said the power company sent an automated phone call to customers who will be affected, and that township officials have been notified as well. The work being done by crews is follow up work to an earlier project, according to Meyers.

“It’s part of a road widening project,” Meyers said. “We are putting back some equipment that will help improve reliability.”
