  • You can report a street light outage using our Assistance Request Systemor by calling 742-8230.
  • Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) - An energy saving alternative to standard (incandescent) light bulbs, CFLs use less wattage to give you the same lighting power as a larger wattage standard bulb.
  • Lightning kills nearly one hundred people every year in the United States and injures hundreds of others. When you first notice an upcoming storm, remember that lightning usually precedes rain. Go to the nearest building or car and stay inside until the storm has passed. Do not wait until the storm begins to take cover. Protect yourself and your family by moving to a safe place. Stay in the safe place until signs of lightning and thunder have been past for thirty minutes.

A portion of every electric payment
helps support police, fire, and recreation.

Funding

The payment of electric bills not only keeps the lights on, but also helps support other essential City services. Generally, from $3.5 to $5 million dollars is transferred annually from the revenues of Stillwater Electric Utility to support police, fire and recreation. Even while supporting these needs, rates in Stillwater remain low. New residents to town are often amazed at how low rates are compared to the rest of the country. Around town, Stillwater Electric Utility provides the lighting for recreation areas, ball fields, and the municipal Christmas display.
