When the power goes out in the Town of Landis, everyone wants to know when the power will be restored.
When someone calls to ask how long it will take to get the power restored, the answer may be “We don’t know yet”. During severe weather, an increase in phone call volume can divert important resources, so we encourage residents to give the Landis crews time to respond to an outage before reporting it, because they probably already know about it. To report the outage call 704-857-2411. During business hours press 2 for Public Works. After hours press 1 for a power outage.
In severe emergencies, the Town of Landis will open up its Emergency Operations Center at Fire Station 44 (the corner of S Main and Rice Streets). Our network of police, fire, utility & streets crews will gather information about conditions throughout the Town and dispatch crews quickly and efficiently. Our local Landis Public Power team is always ready and can also call on our network of Public Power cities across North Carolina if more back-up is needed.
Our 24-hour number for Power & Water Emergencies is 704-857-2411.
The Town of Landis has an automated system that alerts our Electric Department whenever the power goes out. That automatic alert is sent to crews and they begin to respond immediately. It will take our electric crews time to arrive at the scene, especially if road conditions are bad. They work quickly to determine the cause and safely begin repair work. That is one of the benefits of being on Landis Public Works – our crews are local – right here in Landis ready and waiting to respond.
Ice and snow storms lead to a build-up of ice on power lines and trees. The weight of that ice can cause limbs or even entire trees to fall onto power lines, causing outages.
If your power goes out temporarily, give it a few minutes to see if it comes back on. If it is a prolonged outage, please report the outage to the Town of Landis at 704-857-2411.
Being prepared and planning ahead are critically important in remaining safe during storms. NC Public Power communities have several tips to help.

The installation of the Town’s new AMI water and electric meters is nearing completion. We have completed the verification process to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the new “smart” meters.
What does this mean?
• Our program management company has performed a quality assurance check to verify that the Town received properly installed and operating meters from our contractor.
• The Town has hired a third-party company to perform an additional quality assurance review of the installed system.
• A portion of the new and old meters has been field tested by a separate firm that has done electric meter testing for the Town for the last 5 years.
• A statistical review of electric meter data trends was performed by Electicities to ensure precise billing to the electric metered.
• Conducting residential energy audits for those customers who request them. (First priority will be given to customers with largest trend changes). See fee and rate schedule where it applies.
During the transition to the AMI meters, many of our utility customers have seen an increase in their monthly bills this is due to accurate and timely billing. However, having the water meter part of the program completed, the Town was able to use the consumption information gathered by the new meters to help a number of customers find leaks or inefficiencies with their water use.
AMI – Advanced Metering Infrastructure – is an integrated system of smart meters, communications networks, and data management systems that enables two-way communication between utilities and customers. One of the system’s primary benefits to customers is that it allows daily, “real-time” monitoring of consumption instead of traditional systems that use monthly billing to report consumption that is usually several weeks old.
There are several advantages to these Smart meters. Customers can;
How secure is my data and information?
Data from the meters is encrypted and sent through a safe and secure network to the utility databases. The meter system transmits only the water or electric meter readings, the meter identification number, and diagnostic information to verify that the automated meter equipment is operating correctly. Only key authorized utility personnel, such as customer service representatives can access your account if needed. There is no personal identifying information captured by the smart point or transmitted by the meter.
Is this technology safe for me and my family? The new meters use wireless radio frequencies or RF, similar to wireless Internet and cable TV which many people already have in their homes. Radio frequencies are also used in cell phones, microwaves and even baby monitors. Digital water and electric meters operate a much lower levels of radio frequencies than any of those. The meters and communication system are regulated to meet all federal communications, safety standards and codes. This is very helpful website from the Federal Communications Commission or FCC explaining radio frequencies.
