SUBJECT: Momentary Power Outage Due to Tree on Utility Line

 

Duquesne Light has informed us that they will be shutting down one of the three electrical feeders serving Main Campus at approximately 1:15 AM this morning.  Power should transfer to other circuits causing only a momentary power disruption to buildings on that circuit.  This circuit also is one of 2 serving the CIC and power may be lost to that building for as much as 2 hours.  We expect an update from Duquesne Light as to when power can be fully restored.
