Outage restoration updates
UPDATED: 06/12/2026

Severe weather has caused significant damage to our system.

9 a.m. update: 39 outages affecting 241 members. All crews are working across our service territory and have restored more than 4,500 members with power. They will continue to work until service is restored to all members.

Crews are currently working on outages affecting fewer than 50 members. Progress will be slower, as the same amount of work required to restore larger outages will now only restore a few members at a time. Please continue to call 800-726-3953 or log into SmartHub (tipmont.smarthub.coop) to report outages.

Crews are working near:
  • Tippecanoe County: Bridgeway Drive (broken pole), East Meadowbrook Drive
  • Fountain County: North Shalepit Road (broken pole), E. 130 N.
Thirteen broken poles remain on our system and must be changed out.
Tree crews are present in Battle Ground to remove trees from lines, and the next available tree crew will head to Hillsboro to remove trees from lines there.
We are receiving assistance from crews from Hoosier Edison and Henry County REMC
As a safety reminder, assume any downed line is energized and stay far away. Call 911 to report downed power lines.

SmartHub briefly unavailable at 4:30 p.m.

UPDATED: 02/10/2025

SmartHub will be briefly unavailable due to maintenance at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 10. We anticipate the service will be available again after several minutes.
