Power outages around Aledo

Checked against the source Sunday, September 6, 2026

Two electric companies appear in the local record, Oncor and Tri-County Electric Cooperative. Oncor takes outage reports at 888.313.4747 around the clock and runs an online outage map; the co-op takes a text of OUTAGE to 25069, its MyTriCountyTX app or a call to (817) 444-3201. What each company's site says, checked Sept. 6, 2026, with the city's alert system and after-hours line.

Which company do I call?

The one named on your electric bill. Both run lines in the area on the record: the Commissioners Court approved an Oncor pole across the county right of way on East Bankhead Drive on March 9, 2026, and the school board approved a Tri-County Electric Cooperative easement for power at Bearcat Park in October 2021. Tri-County says its territory covers 16 North Texas counties; its mailing address is in Azle.

How do I report an Oncor outage?

Oncor's site lists one number for outages, 888.313.4747, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, plus reporting by text and through the MyOncor mobile app, and a public outage map at stormcenter.oncor.com.

How do I report a Tri-County Electric outage?

The co-op's outage page says its metering notifies it of an outage at your location automatically; to report or add details, text OUTAGE to 25069, use the MyTriCountyTX portal or app, use the online outage map, or call (817) 444-3201, which the co-op says can be busy in a widespread outage.

How does the city tell residents about an outage?

Aledo Alert, the city's free notification system run on Everbridge, sends texts, emails or calls for severe weather, public safety incidents, major road closures and utility disruptions; the city's examples include critical utility outages. Registration is free on the city's page.

Who do I call if the water or sewer stops working after hours?

The city's Public Works on-call line, (817) 209-8753, for urgent water, wastewater or street problems outside City Hall hours, per the city's water distribution page. For police, fire or medical emergencies, 911.

Also

  • Neither company's site states which streets in Aledo it serves; the Ledger has not found a public map that does, so the bill is the reliable guide.
  • Fallen trees across lines and damaged equipment are the details the co-op asks callers to report by phone.
