Goodbye 814



Current Pennsylvania Area Code Boundaries

 The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission approved a plan yesterday to divide the 814 area code along geographic boundaries.

Erie, Crawford, Warren, Venango, Forest, Clarion, Jefferson, Elk, McKean, and portions of Clearfield, Armstrong, Mercer and Indiana counties will receive a new area code by Feb. 1, 2012.

The PUC split the 814 area code because it is projected to run out of telephone numbers by early 2013.
