 The City
of Marceline Electric Department is dedicated to providing safe,
reliable power and the best service to our community at all times.
We are constantly maintaining and improving our power lines to
prevent disruptions in service and reduce outages from acts of
nature. A complete upgrade of the entire system to the more
dependable 13,800kv is in progress as part of a long term plan.
The City
receives electricity from Ameren through City owned transmission
lines at 69,000 volts. At our substation, the voltage is reduced for
distribution to 13,800 volts for approximately 2/3 of our customers and
the other 1/3 is currently reduced to 2400 volts. The distribution
system sends power to our customers throughout the City and
surrounding areas which is eventually reduced to the required
voltages by transformers located near each home or business.
Tree
trimming is another very important aspect of the Electric Department
that is essential in providing dependable electric service with few
interruptions. Since our trimming program started in 2010, the
number of after-hours call outs was reduced by approximately 50% in
2011. The next year reflected an additional 50% drop, stressing the
importance of maintaining adequate clearance between power lines and
trees.
We
proudly serve our community and are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. If during normal business hours, you notice any
low or downed power lines, street lights out, tree limbs interfering
with power lines, or experience a power outage please call
Utility Services, located at Marceline City
Hall at (660) 376-3528.
If
you have an after hour utility related emergency you can contact the
Marceline Police Department
at (660)
376-3556.
