Safety
Safety is always a priority
Itasca-Mantrap’s dedicated linemen and office employees work to ensure that you have power 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We strive to minimize the time you may have to endure without power in the unfortunate event of an outage. Our crews maintain 1,102 miles of overhead line and 673 miles of underground line.
Play it safe around electric lines
Treat all downed power lines as if they were energized. If you come across a downed line, make sure you:
- Never touch the lines
- Call Itasca-Mantrap immediately
- Keep others away from the area until our crews arrive

Safety Demos
Itasca-Mantrap visits elementary schools and community groups within its service territory to teach electric safety. Using the electric safety village, Itasca-Mantrap employees educate young students about the potential dangers of electricity in the home and outdoors. This educational program also reinforces classroom instruction by explaining how Itasca-Mantrap brings electricity to homes and businesses.
Intended for elementary school students, 4-H groups, cub scouts, and youth summer camps, this program is a wonderful interactive learning tool for students to understand the importance of electricity.
To request a safety demo, please contact Itasca-Mantrap at 218-732-3377 or toll free at 888-713-3377.
