POWER OUTAGES: The safe and reliable delivery of electricity is the primary goal of the Carlisle Municipal Electric Department. We are very proud of the reliability of our service. However, power outages do occur within our system. The most common reasons for an outage are wind storms, lightening, squirrels, or accidents involving a power pole.
REPORTING OUTAGES
Your call is important. It enables us to determine the extent of the outage and the portion of the electric system impacted. This assists us in determining the location and cause of the outage.
Immediately report a power outage by calling:
Normal Business Hours: 515-989-3224
After Hours: 515-961-1122
If you are experiencing an outage, please check the following before you call:

- Check and see if your neighbors are out of power too.
- Do you see a tree limb on a power line or a line down?
- Did you see a flash, electrical arc or hear any loud noise?
When you call please be prepared to give us the following information:
