The Board of Public Utilities is made up of seven community members and acts as a recommending body to the City Council on matters related to utility operations. The Board provides recommendations on a range of issues, including the annual budget, purchases of equipment, materials, and supplies for utility system improvements, as well as the establishment of rates for water, wastewater, and electricity.
