We would like to inform you of the upcoming Planned Power Outage. This outage will take place tomorrow, (Tuesday) January 26, 2021 on the West Side of Roosevelt, starting at 5:00 a.m. thru 5:30 a.m. During this maintenance outage, we will update critical infrastructure components in order to improve our system. According to our records, this will impact approximately 812 members.

You should have received a courtesy phone call if this outage will impact you. Just as a reminder, these calls are submitted based on the current phone number that you have in our system. If you have recently changed your phone number, please make sure that you inform the MLEA front office of that change by calling 435-722-5400.

Planned power outages are sometimes necessary when we make improvements to the power system for our members. Most of the time, we can do this with no impact to the members. Occasionally, we need to shut off your power so our crews can work safely. We are committed to keeping you and our employees safe. We know being without power is inconvenient and we appreciate your patience during outages.
