Power Restored

Powering Up

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 power outage updates 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.

The original item was published from February 14, 2018 12:01 PM to February 15, 2019 12:05 AM

After plowing more than 18 inches of snow between Feb. 5-12, many Geneva residents took the time to share their appreciation for the Public Works Department for working long hours and for the City's communication outreach.

Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback with us via social media and email. It meant a lot to our staff!

Thank you all. Big snows this past week. Never once had trouble traveling around Geneva.

We wondered about garbage pickup today (due to the snow), so we hopped on the City website, and as usual, found excellent, up-to-date information about pickup as well as other helpful weather-related details.

Weather emergencies, utilities, recycling, meeting schedules - no matter what it is, we can always find what we need on the City website. Thank you so much for your efforts, we sure appreciate it!!!
