Scheduled Power Outage – All Falls City Utility Customers - 3 AM to 5 AM on Friday - May 2, 2025

The City of Falls City advises there will be a scheduled power outage as follows:

Date: Friday - May 2, 2025

Time: 3 AM to 5 AM

Affected Areas: All Falls City Utility Customers

Reason: The city has experienced multiple unplanned outages due to Engine 8 not holding the full electric load during transitions. This planned outage is necessary to safely disconnect from OPPD transmission service and thoroughly test Engine 8’s ability to carry city load and perform circuit tie-ins under controlled conditions. To protect your sensitive equipment, we strongly recommend unplugging critical components or ensuring they are isolated during the testing window.

We understand the inconvenience, but this step is essential to improve system reliability and reduce future unplanned outages. For questions, contact Falls City Utilities at (402) 245-2851.
