our customers in the use of utility services, programs, policies, and future plans. These products
and services will be provided in an environmentally and financially responsible manner.
Fulfilling that mission means a daily commitment to maintaining the systems that provide safe
and reliable water. A domestic water system and other urban services like wastewater and
electricity are the foundation of social and economic development. Our water system is an
important part of why our community is what it is today.
