An upcoming electric outage will affect all Middletown electric customers next week.
Delmarva Power is required under federal compliance standards to test its relays that connect with the Town of Middletown’s electric substation.
Middletown operates a municipally-owned electric utility that connects to Delmarva’s grid.
Power will be disconnected to the town on Wednesday, April 27, between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.
Residents and businesses are asked to plan for a potential four-hour outage.
Middletown is approaching a population of 25,000 and has grown rapidly in recent decades, with electrical consumption also on the rise.
