Welcome to Riverside, Missouri ~
A great American small town

Welcome to the City of Riverside. Visit us and enjoy our prime location– located just minutes north of downtown Kansas City, Missouri, on the tree-shaded banks of the silent and swift Missouri River. Whether you're a resident, local business, or potential development partner, you'll come to love our pioneering spirit and fierce independence. Our citizens have strong roots and a deep commitment to the community. Riverside has both a rich history and a bright future.

Who do I call?  If your power is out, please call KCPL at 1-888-544-4852 (1-888-LIGHTKC).  They will make note of the outage and respond as soon as possible.

Should I call the City or report it to 9-1-1 also? No.  City staff or the 9-1-1 operators are usually aware of the outage already.  Calling 9-1-1 may clog phone lines for those who need to report a true emergency. 

But doesn’t the City have access to people at KCPL who can get it fixed faster?  Only for life-threatening situations.  City staff and 9-1-1 operators must report general power outages to KCPL like everyone else to the number that is provided above.
