Elk River Municipal Utilities is celebrating its 65th anniversary of being a municipal electric and <br /> water utility. Officially, the"Elk River Public Utilities" was first created on July 11, 1947 when <br /> the Village of Elk River adopted a resolution creating a Water, Light, Power and Building <br /> Commission and appointed its first three members: V.B. Skellinger, Otis Nickerson, and C.F. <br /> Meyers. Power had been supplied to the community for some 30 years prior. The Elk River <br /> Power and Light Company was established in 1915 and was then acquired by the Village of Elk <br /> River in 1945. Thanks to the vision of the(then) Village of Elk River, we exist to today as our <br /> company mission states "To provide our customers safe, reliable, cost effective and quality long <br /> term electric and water utility services." We look forward to another 65 years of serving <br /> community as public power and water! Attached are the handwritten minutes from that July 11, <br /> 1947, special meeting of the Elk River Village Council when the Utilities Commission was <br /> created. <br /> P 0 V E R E R R 1 <br /> Page 2 of 2 NATUR EI <br /> Reliable Publics <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D To S E R V E <br />
