When weather is at its worst, electrical systems are sometimes stressed and broken beyond what our local crews can repair in a reasonable amount of time. Cedarburg Light & Water on behalf of Municipal Electric Utilities of Wisconsin (MEUW) has agreements in place with 82 fellow electric municipalities state-wide to ensure an affected utility has ample resources available to restore electric service to customers.
Our electric crews have participated in several weather disasters state and country-wide. Our crews have helped to restore services lost due to high winds, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Most recently, we responded to Lakeland, FL following Hurricane Milton in 2024. We have also benefited by receiving mutual aid from partnering utilities.
