In Pittsburgh, electric delivery is handled by Duquesne Light — and since Pittsburgh sits in Pennsylvania's deregulated market, you pick your own Pittsburgh retail plan; Peoples Gas (WEC Energy) is Pittsburgh's natural-gas utility. The exact lineup depends on your Pittsburgh address — even nearby Altoona and State College answer differently.

If you're setting up service in Pittsburgh, the delivery side is settled. Duquesne Light runs the power lines and answers outage calls at addresses across the city, and Peoples Gas moves the gas. Electricity is a choice market here, so you can shop your electric supplier through PA Power Switch while Duquesne Light keeps delivering; Peoples Gas delivers your gas. Water and sewer are the wild card: about two in three sampled addresses sit with Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, the rest with Pennsylvania American Water. The lookup settles which.
Pittsburgh grew up on steep hillsides where the Allegheny and Monongahela join to form the Ohio, and it never settled into one tidy grid. It's a stack of distinct neighborhoods stitched together by bridges and hillside inclines, and that fragmentation is why utility boundaries here rarely line up cleanly — the water provider especially can change from one hillside to the next while the electric and gas names hold steady.

Based on 12 sampled Pittsburgh addresses spanning ZIP codes 15201, 15203, 15204, 15206, 15210, 15211, 15212, 15214, 15216, 15217, 15219, 15227 (2026-07-20). Yours may differ — the Pittsburgh lookup is the tiebreaker.
Edges matter here. Cross the city line into one of Allegheny County's many surrounding boroughs and townships — Mount Lebanon, Wilkinsburg, Penn Hills — and water or sewer can switch hands even when the electric and gas names hold steady. Check the address, not the neighborhood.
The one-minute fix: run your Pittsburgh address through the lookup and skip the guessing.
Duquesne Light — Pittsburgh's EDC — owns the wires here, and restores Pittsburgh outages ((412) 393-7100) whoever you pay. Your separately chosen Pittsburgh plan (compare at PA Power Switch) sets the rate on your Pittsburgh bill — full wires-vs-plans explainer here.
Before the moving truck climbs your street in Squirrel Hill, Lawrenceville, or the South Side, run this checklist so nothing about utilities catches you off guard.
Duquesne Light is the EDC for Pittsburgh — the wires-and-meters utility — at every one of the Pittsburgh addresses we sampled. You pick the retail plan that sets your Pittsburgh rate; Duquesne Light delivers either way.

No — at every one of the sampled Pittsburgh addresses, Peoples Gas (WEC Energy) was the gas utility, but plenty of Pittsburgh homes are all-electric and never open this account.
Duquesne Light delivers electricity and handles outages at addresses across Pittsburgh, so it's the company to call when the power goes out. Pennsylvania is a retail-choice state, though, so the supply portion is up to you: you can stay on Duquesne Light's default supply or shop competing suppliers through the state's PA Power Switch site. Delivery stays with Duquesne Light either way. Use the lookup to confirm your address.
That one depends on your address. Across sampled Pittsburgh addresses, about two in three are served by the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, and about one in three by Pennsylvania American Water. Water and sewer tend to travel together, so whichever handles your water usually handles your sewer too. Because the two overlap across different parts of the city, don't assume based on a neighbor a few blocks away — run the lookup for your exact address.
Yes — gas is its own setup, separate from electricity. Peoples Gas moves natural gas to addresses across Pittsburgh, so that's who you contact to start service and who you call about a gas leak or smell. Peoples Gas delivers the gas directly; your electricity is the side Pennsylvania lets you shop, through PA Power Switch. The lookup confirms it for your address.
