Central Electric has finished up the scheduled power outages, and there will be NO power outage tonight.
The City of Vandalia apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused our residents. However, completing this work now was far better than risking a storm coming through, taking out rotted poles, and leaving our community without power for days.
💡 A HUGE thank you to our Electric Crew for working through the night and helping Central Electric and changing out equipment that needed attention while the power was out. Your dedication and hard work do not go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate everything you do to keep Vandalia powered and safe!
Thank you all for your patience and understanding!

🚧 Water Service Notice 🚧
The City of Vandalia will be replacing a fire hydrant today on West Home Street. During this work, residents may experience low water pressure in the area between South Maple Street and South Lincoln Street.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as crews complete this necessary maintenance. Service will return to normal once the work is finished.
If you have questions, please contact City Hall at 573-594-6186. Thank you! 💧
📢 Scheduled Power Outage Notice – City of Vandalia
Attention Vandalia residents:
Central Electric has scheduled a planned power outage April 14–16, from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM each night, to replace several utility poles in our area.
During this time, the Vandalia Electric Department will also take advantage of the outage window to upgrade and replace some of our own poles to help improve system reliability.
✅ The work is expected to take two nights, but a third night (April 16) is reserved just in case additional time is needed.
👮♂️ For added safety, the Audrain County Sheriff’s Office will have extra patrol units in town, just like during previous planned outages.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete these important improvements. Please plan accordingly and stay safe!

There was an error in a recent Vandalia Leader story regarding the City of Vandalia and its ordinances. The article suggested that the City was creating ordinances to “single out” individuals — which is not accurate.
The statement should have read:
👉 “The City of Vandalia makes decisions with purpose, always with safety, fairness, and legal compliance in mind. We’re not out to ‘get’ anyone. Before assuming the worst, we encourage you to ask questions. We’re always willing to explain how things work and why decisions are made. We’re all part of this community, and we want Vandalia to be the best it can be.”
The Vandalia Leader has since corrected the error online, and we appreciate them taking quick action to fix the mistake.
At the end of the day, we all want what’s best for Vandalia. If you ever have questions about how things work or why decisions are made, please reach out — communication helps our whole community grow stronger. 💙
The City of Vandalia will be temporarily disconnecting water service on Wednesday, February 25th in order to connect East Highway 54 to the new water main.
Affected Areas:
📍 North Monroe to Forest
📍 East Page to East Washington
At this time, there is no timeline available for how long this changeover will take. We will share updates as soon as more information is available.
If you have any questions, please contact Vandalia City Hall at 573‑594‑6186.
Thank you for your patience as we work to improve our community’s infrastructure! 💧🏘️
