He said that Fleetwood Borough crews were out working on Monday night during the storm.

“Borough crews worked around the clock to keep the sewer plant and water system operational. Crews also were out all night to keep the streets clean of fallen limbs and keeping storm drains clean from leaves. Fire personnel and police were busy all night, but no major incidents reported,” said Young.

Out of the more than 60,000 Berks Countians without power on Tuesday due to Hurricane Sandy, there were about 83 Fleetwood Borough residents without power. Also without power were about 312 in Maidencreek Township, 1,005 in Richmond Township, 875 in Rockland Township and 1,456 in Ruscombmanor Township.
