City of Mishawaka Power Outage Update
Date: 3/31/2025
In the wake of yesterday’s powerful and unprecedented storm, Mishawaka experienced approximately 10,000 power outages. We are pleased to report that as of this afternoon, the Mishawaka Utility Electric (MUE) team has successfully restored power to more than 9,700 consumers within the City of Mishawaka. A big thank you goes out to the MUE professionals and tireless work!
This morning, following a comprehensive assessment of the damage and outages in our service area, it became evident that additional assistance was needed. MUE promptly reached out to the Indiana Municipal Electric Association (IMEA) for mutual aid, and we have since welcomed three additional crews of skilled 12 electric linemen to support our restoration efforts (including 5 bucket trucks, 3 digger trucks and other additional equipment).
These mutual aid crews are currently working alongside our MUE teams in the areas hardest hit by the storm. While we are unable to provide an exact timeline for when power will be fully restored in all affected areas, please be assured that our combined teams will continue to work tirelessly until every customer is back online.
Special thanks also go out to our Central Services and to the MFP and MPD for addressing all of the safety and security issues.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of our community during this challenging time and will continue to provide updates as our work progresses.
