Outage Texting
You can now report your outages via text message. Sign up for Tri-County EMC’s TextTCEMC service, and enjoy the convenience of texting outages, receiving important updates and more. This free service allows members to report outages via text, and that information goes directly into our outage management system so that crews can quickly be dispatched to restore power.
Once your cell phone number is up to date on your Tri-County EMC account, simply text OUT to 85700 to report an outage. Please allow 24 hours from the time you update your phone number to the time you report an outage via text to ensure the textTCEMC system is up to date.
