March 3, 2015 - Press Release - MID to growers: Continuing drought will result in season without Lake McClure water allocation

March 2, 2015 - MID Temporary Power Outage

At about 1 p.m. today a series of thunderstorms were moving through the area. It is believed that multiple lightning strikes simultaneously occurred at several locations within both Merced Irrigation District and Turlock Irrigation District electric systems. Crews from both districts coordinated and immediately responded. By approximately 2:20 p.m., power was restored. This event temporarily interrupted electric service to all of MID’s 8,200 residential and business customers. This is only the second system-wide interruption MID has had in its nearly 20-year history as an electric utility. The District regrets any inconvenience to the community it serves.
