Making sure you have the power you need day-in and day-out is our job – 24/7. But occasionally an outage can occur. When that happens, you can count on us to work as quickly and safely as possible to restore your service.

	Report an outage - If you are experiencing a power outage and were not notified in advance, make sure to let us know. You can also report an outage on a mobile device at avistautilities.com or by calling us at (800) 227-9187.
	Planned outages - Upgrading and maintaining infrastructure to better serve you sometimes requires a power outage. Learn more about these planned outages and how you can prepare.
	Track outages - Select one of the viewing options below for information on current power outages and those restored in the past 48 hours.

While we’re working on restoration, here’s what you can do:

• Turn off all the appliances you think were on before your power went out.
• Unplug your electronic equipment, including computers.
• Leave a light or radio on to let you know when you have service again.
• Don’t wire an emergency generator into your home electrical system. Backfeed into power lines could injure or kill a lineman working to get electricity restored.
• Use your generator only to run specific appliances, and locate it outside so poisonous carbon monoxide fumes don’t enter your home.
• Lower the thermostat on all your electric heat sources to an absolute minimum. Once your power comes back on, wait a half hour before you return your thermostat to a normal setting. If your furnace doesn’t kick in, call your heating/ventilation/air conditioning dealer.
