The City is working on storm cleanup. If you have tree debris and can't make it to the drop-off site at 99th & Portal, we recommend you work with family, friends or neighbors in your area. We will make an announcement Friday afternoon regarding curbside pickup.

When bad weather hits the OPPD service territory, our crews go out in full force. At times, rural crews travel over 50 miles in dangerous road conditions just to get to an outage. This may increase the time it takes to get power restored. Learn more at ow.ly/rcCC50CW9st.
Did you know that the history of Omaha Public Power District dates back to 1917? @OPPDCares is also a proud sponsor of this year’s EthicSpace Conference. #EthicSpaceCon #OPPD #TheAllianceOmaha
