Reporting an outage
By Phone: During business hours, 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., call us at 218-732-3377 or toll free at 888-713-3377. Your call will be answered by our office staff and you will be transferred to the automated outage system. After hours, you will be connected to our interactive voice response phone system. This system uses your phone number to look up your member information and location, it is critical that we have your current phone number in our system. If you are calling from a number that we do not have on file, the dispatch system may not be able to find your location based on phone number. If this happens, you will be prompted to enter in a number for the outage location and leave a detailed message about your outage.
