Today, Pittsburgh Water flipped the switch to celebrate the new dual power feed installation, completed by Duquesne Light Company, at our Water Treatment Plant ?? Safe and reliable water service certainly requires upgrading aging water pipes, pumps, and tanks, but there are other operational components that matter, too. Dependable, safe power access is a critical part of moving water throughout our hilly city, into homes and businesses ? Pittsburgh Water leadership was joined by Duquesne Light Company Vice President of Energy Policy and General Counsel David Fisfis, Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Chairman Stephen DeFrank, City of Pittsburgh Councilperson and board member Erika Staaf Strassburger, and additional members of its Board of Directors.
