Powering Up

"Power
Geneva owns and operates its own electric utility, and we take great pride in providing reliable electric service to our residents and businesses. However, like all utilities, we are susceptible to outages caused by bad weather, animals, equipment issues and more. This blog is designed to provide updates on what caused outages after service has been restored. Large-scale incidents will be posted in real-time on the City's Alert Center on the our website homepage. Customers can subscribe to receive these updates via Notify Me.

People looking to report outages to the City should call the Public Works Electric Division at 630-2321503 during normal business hours and the Police Department at 630-232-4736 after-hours, weekends and holidays. The City's online request tracker system and social media accounts are not monitored 24 hours a day.

[ARCHIVED] Let&#39s Not Race Into Fall

The original item was published from September 18, 2023 10:51 AM to July 1, 2024 12:05 AM

As we approach the fall season, the Geneva Police Department continues to receive an increased number of speeding complaints, especially within residential areas of our City. I want to provide a few quick reminders to help enhance community safety:

  • The posted speed limit in nearly all residential areas within Geneva is 25 mph;
  • Pedestrian traffic is notable, especially in shopping districts and near our school buildings;
  • Numerous special events during the coming months will lead to increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic, especially downtown;
  • Do not use your phone unless it is hands-free;  and
  • Be considerate of your neighbors and of those neighborhoods that you drive through.

Excessive speed and distracted driving are two of the leading causes of traffic crashes. Please join us by engaging in safe driving habits to ensure the fall season is as safe as it can be for our residents and visitors.
