ATTENTION EAST SIDE SOUTH MAIN STREET SUBSCRIBERS

05/27/2026


⚠️ ATTENTION EAST SIDE SOUTH MAIN STREET SUBSCRIBERS ⚠️





Oberlin Municipal Light and Power System (OMLPS) has announced a scheduled power outage affecting the east side of South Main Street today, May 27, 2026, from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM.





What this means for your Cable Co-op services:
If your home or business loses power during this window, your internet, Wi-Fi, and cable services will temporarily go down. Once OMLPS restores power to the area, your equipment should automatically reboot and come back online within 5 to 10 minutes.





If your power returns but your services do not restore automatically after a few minutes, try unplugging your modem and router from the wall, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging them back in.





Thank you for your patience as the city works on the local grid! If you experience any ongoing issues after 3:30 PM, give our office a call directly at (440) 775-4001.


May 2026 E-Waste

05/07/2026


We hit a MASSIVE milestone Oberlin! ♻️📦





A huge thank you to the 150+ people who came out for our E-Waste Collection event yesterday. It was a busy afternoon, and the results were incredible!





The "Heavy" Stats:





  • 150+ Participants joined us at the OCS parking lot.
  • Tons Collected: We estimate we brought in several tons of old tech yesterday alone.
  • The Big Number: This brings our 4-year total to over 15 TONS of e-waste removed from our community!




Since we started this event four years ago, we’ve averaged nearly 4 tons of recycled electronics per year. That is a lot of old TVs, monitors, and cables kept out of the landfill.









Thank you for helping us keep Oberlin clean and for supporting your local Co-op. We couldn't do it without you!
