Fallen transformer cuts power in parts of Carnegie

CARNEGIE, Pa. — A fallen transformer cut power in parts of Carnegie Thursday.

In a social media post, Mayor Sam Bigham said the transformer fell along West Main Street.

Much of Irishtown, West Main Street, lower Cubbage Hill and the Borough Building lost power as a result.

Bigham said Duquesne Light Co. projects that restoration work could take as long as a day because both the transformer and poles need to be replaced.

As of 12:47 p.m., DLC reported more than 1,300 customers without power in the area. Click here to view DLC’s outage map.
