Description
In 1898 Pitcairn Council was petitioned to explore the possibilities of obtaining electric service for the Borough. Since nearby electric companies were not interested in extending service to Pitcairn, steps were taken to build Pitcairn’s own Electric Light Plant and Distribution System. The Light Plant would continue to provide power to the community until 1972 when the Duquesne Light Company took over that service.
