Lassen Municipal Utility District is celebrating Public Power Week, October 6th through the 12th, along with 2,000 other community-powered, not-for-profit electric utilities that provide electricity to fifty-four million Americans across forty-nine states and five territories.
Public power utilities across the U.S. celebrate Public Power Week the first full week of October every year to help customers and stakeholders understand how they can better engage with their community-owned utility and benefit from all its offerings.
“As a publicly owned utility LMUD does not operate for profit,” explains the utility’s Public Relations Manager Theresa Phillips, “in fact, we operate to serve the best interest of our community. That means collaborating with local government, service organizations and public safety providers to ensure safe, reliable and affordable power.”
This Thursday, October 10th, from 6:00a.m. to 8:30p.m., LMUD will host the community at the Susanville Supermarket bakery, inviting everyone to come enjoy a small coffee and doughnut on the utility.
