Outage restoration updates
UPDATED: 06/12/2026

Severe weather has caused significant damage to our system.

10 a.m. update: 37 outages affecting 196 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: N. 775 E., Bridgeway Drive (broken pole), East Meadowbrook Drive
  • Montgomery County: New Richmond
  • Fountain County: W. 100 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.

Lynn Beck

District 3

Lynn Beck was born in Columbus, Ind., and has been an Indiana resident all of his life. He graduated from Franklin Community High School in 1976 and then attended the University of Indianapolis, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. Beck was a banker for 11 years and moved to Lafayette, Ind., in 1989 to begin a career with IBM, where he was employed as a Sales Representative in the Systems and Technology Group for 23 years until he retired in July 2013.

His wife, Debbie, is a retired nurse from IU Health in Lafayette. They have three children and 10 grandchildren. They attend the Gathering Point Church in Dayton, Ind.

Beck’s tenure on the Tipmont Board of Directors has afforded him the opportunity to earn Director Gold status, the highest certification that can be awarded by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. He also represents Tipmont on the board of directors for Indiana Electric Cooperatives — an organization supporting safe, efficient and legal operation of Indiana’s 38 rural electric cooperatives.

My goal as director of District 3 is to continue to provide the members of Tipmont with the safest, most reliable service at the lowest cost and to maintain the values upon which the cooperative was founded.
