WHAT IS AN EMERGENCY?

Gas leaks, odor of gas, damaged lines, carbon monoxide symptoms and water main breaks are all considered emergencies.

If you smell gas, do not attempt to locate the leak. Instead, leave the house or building right away. Do not use any electrical switches, appliances, lights, telephones, or mobile devices, as an electrical charge could create a spark. When you are in a safe place, call M.U.D.'s emergency hotline at 402.554.7777 or 9-1-1.

If someone is showing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, call 9-1-1 immediately. Symptoms are like the flu.

If you have a water-related emergency, call 402.554.7777. Our personnel are ready to assist you 24/7. When in doubt, call us immediately.

¿QUÉ ES UNA EMERGENCIA?

Las fugas de gas, el olor a gas, las tuberías de gas dañadas, los síntomas de monóxido de carbono y roturas en las tuberías principales de agua son consideradas emergencias.

Si huele a gas, NO trate de localizar la fuga/escape. Al contrario, abandone la casa o el edificio inmediatamente. No utilice los interruptores eléctricos, electrodomésticos, luces, teléfonos o equipos móviles, ya que una carga eléctrica podría provocar una chispa. Una vez que se encuentre en un lugar seguro, entonces llame a la línea directa de emergencia de M.U.D. al 402.554.7777 o al 9-1-1.

Si alguien tiene síntomas de envenenamiento causados por el monóxido de carbono, llame al 9-1-1 inmediatamente. Los síntomas son como los de la gripe/catarro.

M.U.D. Event M.U.D. Updates Utilities

Record-breaking Event Boosts Funding for Assistance Programs

For the second year in a row, records were broken at the annual Heat the Streets Run & Walk for Warmth. In its 18th year, a record 1,100 people registered for the event. More than $226,000 was raised through registration, donations and sponsorships, with 100% of proceeds benefiting utility assistance programs for M.U.D. and Omaha Public Power District customers. An estimated 250 households will benefit from the funds raised.

Senior Vice President and General Counsel Mark Mendenhall and his wife, Bridget, co-chaired the event alongside OPPD’s board director Eric Williams and his partner, Kristine Hull.

Mark said, “My wife and I were honored to serve as co-chairs for this year’s record-breaking event. All the funds raised stay in the Omaha metro, and it was rewarding to see our community come together to support such an important cause.”

In 2024, M.U.D.’s utility assistance program, the Home Fund, provided $350,194 in utility assistance to 945 households.
