Powering Up

Geneva owns and operates its own electric utility, and we take great pride in providing reliable electric service to our residents and businesses. However, like all utilities, we are susceptible to outages caused by bad weather, animals, equipment issues and more.

This blog is designed to provide updates on what caused outages after service has been restored. Large-scale power outage updates will be posted in real-time on the City's Alert Center on the our website homepage. Customers can subscribe to receive these updates via Notify Me.

People looking to report outages to the City should call the Public Works Electric Division at 630-2321503 during normal business hours and the Police Department at 630-232-4736 after-hours, weekends and holidays. The City's online request tracker system and social media accounts are not monitored 24 hours a day.

[ARCHIVED] Residents Appreciate City&#39s Response To Tornado

The original item was published from March 5, 2024 to April 1, 2025 12:00 AM

Geneva residents thanked the City for its response to the tornado that struck in and around the Pepper Valley subdivision. The first resident sent an email to the Public Works Department and the comments afterward were posted on the City’s social media accounts.

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding efficiency demonstrated by you and your crew in resolving the recent issue we faced. Since the unfortunate tornado hit us last Tuesday, it has been an incredibly stressful period dealing with the aftermath—cleaning up, tree removal, obtaining roof repair estimates, and navigating through insurance processes.

Upon noticing the temporary mailbox in our yard, we were already grateful for your assistance. However, our gratitude reached new heights when, in less than 24 hours, a real and brand new mailbox was installed on our property. This unexpected gesture turned out to be the highlight of our week, leaving us utterly speechless and profoundly grateful for the support you and your dedicated crew provided during this challenging time.

Your prompt and effective response has made a significant impact on our situation, and we sincerely thank you for going above and beyond in assisting us. Your professionalism, dedication, and kindness have not gone unnoticed, and we are truly humbled by your generosity.

Once again, thank you for your exceptional service and support. We are fortunate to have such a reliable and compassionate team helping us through this difficult period.

Warm regards,

Lifang T


It is great to see the City providing these services (garbage dumpsters and a special brush collection) to help our residents. Great job!
