Omaha at a glance
Omaha is served by public utilities for power, water and gas: OPPD and M.U.D. M.U.D. draws water from the Missouri River and wells along the Platte River. Older parts of Omaha have combined sewers, and the city has a long-running program to reduce overflows.
The 1975 Omaha tornado damaged thousands of homes in the city. Omaha licenses plumbers, electricians and mechanical contractors through the city. Spring and summer storms can bring hail and strong winds.
Hail damage is a common reason for roof and gutter repairs. Old Market in downtown Omaha is a district of brick warehouses from the late 1800s.

Metropolitan Utilities District, or M.U.D., draws water from the Missouri and Platte rivers. Wastewater goes to the city's sewers, some of them combined in older areas. OPPD, the Omaha Public Power District supplies electricity, and natural gas comes from Metropolitan Utilities District. Building permits are handled by the Omaha Planning Department, Permits and Inspections Division.
Questions about Omaha
Who supplies water in Omaha?
Metropolitan Utilities District, or M.U.D., draws water from the Missouri and Platte rivers. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from OPPD, the Omaha Public Power District and natural gas from Metropolitan Utilities District. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Omaha need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the Omaha Planning Department, Permits and Inspections Division, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
How do I check a contractor here?
Nebraska doesn't license plumbers statewide, so plumbers are licensed by cities such as Omaha. Nebraska licenses electricians through the State Electrical Division, and some cities also require registration. Ask for license or registration details and look them up before work starts.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before scheduling work on the building.
If you rent, a short written note to your landlord now can save a lot of back and forth later.

VendorReach is a referral service, not the company that does the work. The service company we connect you with is a separate business that quotes, schedules and completes the job. Ask for it in writing. The pro gives you a price before any work starts, and it's your call whether to go ahead.
