The Duquesne Light electrical utility experienced a brief power outage this morning at 4 AM that affected multiple CMU buildings.  Power was quickly restored.  The buildings listed below may have experienced a power interruption or power irregularity.  FMS crews are checking systems in buildings, and we recommend departments review their equipment to confirm normal operation.

Issues with Duquesne Light power supply can cause breakers to trip, momentary voltage sags, phase imbalances or power spikes that may impact sensitive electrical components.  We recommended confirming that any operating systems are still on-line and normal.

FMS staff are available for on-campus support to visually verify anything that can’t be reviewed remotely.  Please contact our FMCS Service Response Center at 412-268-2910 for assistance.
