This national event is sponsored in conjunction with the American Public Power Association.
There are approximately 2,000 community-owned electric utilities that collectively provide
electricity on a not-for-profit basis to 49 million Americans. They are operated by local
governments as a public service with the mission of providing electricity in a reliable manner, at
a reasonable cost, and with proper protection of the environment. Public power companies
exist to serve our fellow citizens, friends, and neighbors. Elk River Municipal Utilities’ loyalty is
to our customers and our community, not stockholders. We are proud to be a public power
utility and to help make our community a great place to live and work. Every year we recognize
Public Power Week as a reminder of the responsibility we have to our consumer-owners.
