At Marshall County REMC, safety and service go hand in hand. Our lineworkers often need to enter private property to inspect equipment, respond to outages, or make system upgrades. This may happen even if youre not home, and while it might be unexpected, its a routine and necessary part of maintaining reliable electric service.

Our crews are trained professionals who work with your safety and service in mind. You might see them walking near electrical utility poles, accessing pad mount transformers, or working from a bucket truck. Their presence ensures your power is restored as quickly and safely as possible.

If you see someone on your property and arent sure who they are, its okay to be cautious. Look for signs that confirm theyre with Marshall County REMC:

• Branded REMC trucks
• Logos on hard hats, safety vests, or clothing
• Professional demeanor and proper equipment

Still unsure? Call our office at 574-936-3161 to confirm if a crew was assigned to your location during the timeframe you noticed someone.

We also ask that members:

• Secure pets when crews are nearby
• Clear access to poles, meters, or underground equipment
• Avoid interrupting active linework for everyones safety

Lineworkers often work long hours in all weather conditions to keep your lights on. Your awareness and cooperation help keep them safe and our system running smoothly.

Thank you for your continued support as we serve our community with safety and reliability in mind.

Reminder: If you have a unique circumstance regarding your electric service or property that you feel we need to be aware of, should we need to access your property, please contact our office at 574-936-3161 so we can add a note to your account.
