THe Value of public power
Local Values, Local Control
As a public utility, Wells Public Utilities is governed by a 3 person commission comprised of Wells residents who are customers of the utility, and who are familiar with its operations and services.
Decisions about the operation and rates of Wells Public Utilities are made by community members, at open, public meetings. Because utility decisions get made locally, the utility is better positioned to respond to the community’s needs, while building on its strengths and advancing its values. And whether a customer has a compliment or complaint, he or she can discuss the issue locally, and they can be assured that their voice will be heard.
Keeping Dollars in Wells
Wells Public Utilities is an engine for economic development — be it through local job creation or utility incentives to spur growth. All utility employees live and work in Wells or the surrounding area, and they take pride supporting local business and helping keep dollars in the community.
Local Response, Local reliability
With a large distribution system and more than 8 MW of generation, residents of Wells
benefit from having localized crews to quickly respond to outages and other emergency situations.
