Outage restoration updates
UPDATED: 06/12/2026

2 p.m. update: There are 31 outages affecting 258 members. This includes a recent outage to 118 members west of CR 50 West near West Lafayette.

We’ll also now offer an update every two hours.

Incidents of trees on lines and infrastructure continue in the wake of last night’s severe weather.

All crews are working across our service territory and have restored more than 6,000 members with power. They will continue to work until service is restored to all members.

Progress of restoration on smaller outages 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: S. 375 W., Huston Road, N. 140 W.
  • Fountain County: E. 860 N. and N. Xavier Road, S. Stringtown Road, E. Bonebrake Road
Numerous broken poles remain on our system and must be changed out.
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.

SCAM ALERT: Fraudulent phone calls

A Tipmont REMC member recently received a phone call from a scammer posed as a utility employee. Please be wary of callers asking for your credit card or other financial account information and personally identifiable information. In this specific case, the perpetrator will threaten to disconnect your service unless you buy a pre-paid debit card or use an online payment service to pay your bill at once.

Please call Tipmont Member Services at (800) 726-3953 if you receive a suspicious call regarding your Tipmont REMC account. We also ask that you help us tell other Tipmont members about this scam. Tipmont REMC takes these issues very seriously and we work closely with Federal, State, and Local authorities to help protect our members against criminal activity.
