No major, citywide power outage in Lehi was publicly confirmed by Lehi City Power or local news outlets for July 31, 2026, based on available official and utility reporting as of Aug. 1.
Readers who lost power that day in Lehi should start with the city’s municipal utility, not Rocky Mountain Power. Lehi City Power provides electric service for Lehi customers, operates its own outage map at outages.lehi-ut.gov, and asks residents to report outages by calling 801-376-0681 or texting “out” to 85700.
What is verified for late July
The most recent Lehi City outage notice that appears in public social posts around that period is from July 28, 2026 — not July 31. In that notice, Lehi City said crews were aware of an outage in the southwest area of Lehi affecting approximately 1,167 customers, then posted that power had been restored.
Lehi City’s official website on July 31 listed routine city notices and events and did not feature an active power-outage alert on the homepage.
Across Utah County more broadly, third-party outage tracking late on July 31 and into Aug. 1 showed relatively light disruption compared with Salt Lake County. PowerOutage.us reported on the order of a few dozen Utah County customers without power in one snapshot (about 57 customers, or about 0.21% of tracked customers in the county), while Salt Lake County accounted for the large majority of statewide outages, with roughly 4,800 customers out.
Those statewide trackers are useful context but are incomplete for Lehi: aggregator maps heavily reflect Rocky Mountain Power customer counts and do not fully mirror every municipal system’s real-time status.
Rocky Mountain Power statewide picture on July 31
Rocky Mountain Power’s outage-safety page is the primary statewide tool for its own customers. Crawled status for Friday, July 31, 2026, at about 12:30 p.m. showed 43 outages in Utah affecting 2,982 customers; a later snapshot on the same page reported 51 outages affecting 4,901 customers.
RMP tells customers to report outages by texting OUT to 759677 or calling 1-877-508-5088, and says map data is typically refreshed about every 15 minutes.
That statewide RMP activity does not, by itself, document a named Lehi City Power outage on July 31. Lehi is a municipal system; power is distributed and restored by Lehi City Power crews for city customers, and Lehi participates in Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems resource projects rather than being a standard Rocky Mountain Power retail city.
Summer outage context in Utah
Utah’s wider grid stress this summer has been real. On the evening of July 12, 2026, Rocky Mountain Power reported more than 17,000 customers without power statewide during extreme heat, with restoration still incomplete for more than 1,200 customers early the next morning. Earlier in the fire season, Rocky Mountain Power also described using emergency de-energization near wildfires in other Utah counties to protect equipment and responders.
None of those heat- and wildfire-related reports identified a confirmed Lehi City Power cause, duration, or restoration timeline specifically for July 31, 2026.
What residents should do now
If power is still out at a Lehi address:
- Report it to Lehi City Power at 801-376-0681 or by texting “out” to 85700, and check the city outage map at outages.lehi-ut.gov.
- Opt in to Lehi power text alerts by texting “lehi” to 85700 for outage and planned-outage notices.
- If the account is served by Rocky Mountain Power rather than the city (more common just outside Lehi’s municipal system), use RMP’s map and report tools at rockymountainpower.net/outages-safety.
Bottom line for the reader’s July 31 question: there is no verified public record from Lehi City Power naming a July 31 outage’s cause, customer count, neighborhoods, or restoration clock. The nearest documented Lehi City outage in that week was the July 28 southwest-Lehi event that city officials said hit about 1,167 customers before power was restored. Anyone who lost power on July 31 should still report it to Lehi City Power so the utility has a complete incident log even if no citywide alert was posted.
