Because they are not-for-profit, community-owned utility systems are about hometown decision making that puts customers first. Community members have a direct and powerful voice in utility decision making. Hamilton Utilities is proud to serve community residents and businesses, providing local control, competitive costs, superior customer service, and economic benefits for the entire city.
"Public Energy Week celebrates the reliable, competitive electric and natural gas service provided to the Hamilton community," said Director of Public Utilities Kevin Maynard. "Public energy puts the people of Hamilton first, and Public Energy Week provides an opportunity to share the advantages of our locally owned utilities that support a strong community."
