Powering Up

Power Restored
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.

[ARCHIVED] MetroNet Expands Construction Into New West Side Neighbordhoods

The original item was published from November 30, 2017 2:26 PM to October 31, 2018 3:49 PM

MetroNet Map Resized
After two construction permits were approved by City in mid-November, MetroNet officially expanded its fiber network installation construction to other areas on Geneva's west side starting this week.

MetroNet is installing the fiber in utility easements after the City approved a franchise agreement with the company earlier this year to offer cable TV, Internet and phone service to Geneva. These easements are typically a strip of land running along the street, the sidewalk, the rear lot line or between two lots.
