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.

A Promise Made to Our Community
Prior to 1913, Omaha residents received their water and gas services from private water and gas companies. Fed up with high costs, constant ownership changes and poor service, they voted to take control and ownership of their utilities. And on March 3, 1921, the Nebraska Legislature formed the Metropolitan Utilities District. From that day, we vowed to provide our community with safe, reliable and cost-effective services.
Customer Focused, Community Driven
Today, we continue to provide quality services at rates lower than area investor-owned utilities and among the lowest in the Midwest. We proudly serve natural gas to more than 241,000 customers, making us the fifth largest public gas utility in the U.S.
We also provide safe drinking water to more than 227,000 customers, meaning we provide life-essential services to more than 600,000 people in the region.
Safe, Reliable Water On Tap
We own and operate three water treatment facilities and an extensive water distribution system that is capable of supplying over 300 million gallons of water per day to our customers. The tap water that we deliver is tested more than 1,000 times per day by our teams of chemists and biologists to ensure it meets every federal and state standard outlined by the EPA. We also maintain more than 29,000 hydrants for fire protection.
Cost Savings Come Naturally
The natural gas that we provide is an economical, safe and environmentally-friendly energy option. Like many gas companies, we purchase natural gas during the summer and store it underground. This ensures that our customer’s homes stay warm even on the coldest day.
We also take natural gas safety very seriously. Our experienced personnel routinely inspect and maintain natural gas mains, and crews are available to respond to emergencies 24/7.
We are your Neighbors, Friends and Family
Since our employees are also customers, they understand the importance of the promise we made to this community over a century ago. They take pride in their work and want everyone they meet to feel valued and respected. Because they know our success is tied to being a great community partner.
