A Note from Duquesne Light Company

Duquesne Light Company (DLC) has contracted qualified line clearance professionals from Wright Tree Service to perform routine vegetation management along 120 miles of distribution circuits in and around Fox Chapel Borough. The work will take place throughout the Borough from Guys Run Road south to Powers Run Road, progressing west, ending in the Borough along Guyasuta Road. From Guyasuta Road, the work will go north, ending at the Indiana Township line. Any properties in the work zones can expect to have pruning performed on an as-needed basis. Environmental Consultant work planners (ECI) notified residents concerning the work to be performed on their property. Tree work will begin following the notification process and is expected to last until mid to late November. Representatives of DLC and Wright Tree reviewed its line clearance activities with the Borough.

Wright Tree will perform line clearance using industry practice approved by the International Society of Arboriculture. This work will occur in trees adjacent to or on the distribution right-of-ways using herbicide to prevent future maintenance and interruptions. Hazardous trees will also be identified and dealt with when encountered.

If work is to be done on your property, ECI will provide contact information for the work planning representatives during the notification process. Property owners can also contact DLC’s Customer Service at 888/393-7000 or review vegetation practices on the DLC website, www.duquesnelight.com.
