Explore the tools, tips, and guidelines below to learn how we put safety first—every day, in every way.
Outage Safety
Although our electric service is generally reliable, winter storms, summer storms, spring flooding, and other unpredictable weather events can lead to power outages. Please use the provided content below to stay safe and make sure you are prepared for inclement weather and possible power outages.
Youth Safety
Electricity powers our world, but it can also be dangerous if not handled properly. Teaching children about electrical safety helps prevent accidents and builds lifelong awareness. From understanding the risks of power lines to using outlets safely, educating kids on these important habits ensures their well-being at home and outdoors.
First Responders Safety
First responders must make good decisions quickly in emergencies. Some of these emergencies involve electric lines, which can be dangerous for both the public and first responders. Cass County Electric wants all first responders to know what to do when they arrive at the scene of an incident that involves electricity.

It's easy & it's the law.
Almost 50% of Cass County Electric's lines are buried underground. Though these lines are safe from high winds and accidental vehicle damage, they are susceptible to another threat every spring. Once the ground thaws, landscaping, and construction projects take off and so do accidental dig-ins to underground power lines. Outdoor projects can cause big problems if you do not plan ahead.
Digging into power lines can cause outages for the whole neighborhood; it also can be extremely dangerous and life-threatening. It’s not just buried power lines that you have to worry about, either. Water, sewer, gas, and telecommunications equipment are often right underfoot. Luckily, there’s an easy process to keep you safe.
