Should you lose power today, it is likely due to an intentional outage by ComEd to repair lines/equipment further down the line and to reroute power accordingly. These will be temporary outages but should still be reported to ComEd.

All power outages should be reported to ComEd and not the Village. If you do not have power, please contact 1-800-Edison-1 if you have not already done so.
