Last night the City Council had the honor of celebrating life-saving awards for Allison Hiltner, Tyler Welle, and Gina Eggert. We are proud of our local ambulance service.
At last night’s City Council meeting we welcomed this year’s group of students, and their teachers, from Buhl, Germany for the Student Exchange Program with Melrose High School. Each year the German class at the Melrose Area High School and the Buhl High School travel to each other's country to learn more about each other's country and city cultures. Welcome to Melrose! We hope you enjoy your time with us.
We’re here — to keep you safe.
Winter weather is more than capable of bringing down power lines and
utility poles. When storms cause damage, local crews can respond in
minutes and keep our community safe.
Reminder: If you encounter a downed line, be sure to stay at least 30 feet
back. #Reliability #SafetyTips
At City of Melrose, we are committed to ensuring everyone in our
community has access to affordable and reliable power. Public power is
community powered! That’s something to love a watt!

Generators are useful during power outages but must be used safely to
avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, electrical shocks, or fires. Always use
them outdoors, at least 20 feet from windows and doors, keep them dry,
and let them cool before refueling. Install carbon monoxide detectors on
every level of your home for added safety. #SafetyTips #WinterReady

comfortably knowing Melrose Utilities will light up your winter nights.
Remember to do a safety checklist before hitting the road for your holiday
celebrations. Check the weather, avoid driving in storms, pack winter

plan in case of inclement weather. #SafeTravels #WinterReady
