Be prepared, stay safe! Extreme wind event forecasted across our service area this week.
The U.S. Weather Service is forecasting extreme winds this week.
Our crews are prepared with additional staffing, equipment, and supplies to respond as quickly as possible, safely, to weather‑related outages.
It’s critical to stay away from downed or low‑hanging power lines. If you see a damaged or fallen line, keep your distance and report it immediately. Never touch a power line or anything in contact with it, including trees. Keep people, pets, equipment, and objects at least 30 feet away, and never attempt to remove a fallen tree or branch from a power line.

We provide funding for conservation projects in the Madison drainage. Key projects include restoration of native westslope cutthroat trout in two tributary streams, aquatic habitat improvements in three tributaries, and extensive fish population monitoring.
