Sun Prairie Utilities

At the end of May, students from Patrick Marsh Middle School visited WPPI Energy to learn about careers in the utility industry. Our lineworkers, Bob and Jason, shared insights about their job, as well as the tools they use to stay safe. The students also got to hear from professionals at WPPI Energy. They learned where their power comes from, saw how drones help crews inspect utility poles, and discovered what electric meters do for their homes.

Education is a core value we strive to share in the community. Water Operators G and Cody were recently at Central Heights Middle School to teach students about their jobs for Career and College Month this May. Our crew explained some of the behind-the-scenes work they do in , gave hands-on experience flushing a fire hydrant, and shared the tools of their trade. We hope it expanded their thirst for knowledge!

Update: 3:56 pm. Power has been restored to all customers. Thank you for your patience. The cause of the outage was wildlife.

We are currently experiencing a power outage at a substation. Crews are on scene and working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. Crews estimate a restoration of 15 minutes.
