Those residents that can be switched have been switched and should have power restored. We are actively working to fix the damaged line and get power back for everyone on Auglaize St.
A large tree has fallen and ripped down a power line in the 400 block of W Auglaize St. This outage is affecting properties on and around Auglaize St. from the Fairgrounds to the railroad tracks on the east side of Auglaize St. Properties between Willipie St. and the fairgrounds to the south of Auglaize St. are also affected. Crews are attempting to reroute power and those south of Auglaize St. should see power restored in the next 30 minutes. Those on Auglaize will not be able to be restored until the line is repaired. We are out working to fix this as fast as possible. Thank you for the patience.

We understand that rising utility costs are a real concern for our residents. The City’s base electric rates have remained unchanged since 2019. However, the total amount reflected on your bill includes both those local base rates and certain regional, pass-through costs that fluctuate with the energy market.
To provide clarity and transparency, below is a straightforward explanation of what makes up your electric bill and how the monthly Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) is calculated.
