Municipal Utilities, Good for All of Us <br /> Living in Elk River, also known as Energy City, I know our community is blessed with <br /> many opportunities. We live on the banks of the Mississippi River; have strong schools, <br /> supportive businesses and a solid infrastructure of municipal utilities that bring the citizens of Elk <br /> River cost-effective, value-added services to meet the needs of the everyday, American family. <br /> Collectively, many of us take for granted the comforts that electricity, water and sewer <br /> provide. As a three-time recipient of the Reliable Public Power Provider RP3 designation, Elk <br /> River Municipal Utilities has consistently provided our businesses and residents consistent and <br /> reliable services ensuring minimal downtime and impact on personal and professional lives. <br /> There are many benefits to municipal utilities including: <br /> • Local Education— Elk River Municipal Utility members believe in local education. We <br /> personally had a team come to our house and conduct an in-house energy audit showing <br /> our family ways we could conserve energy and save on our electric bill. It was so <br /> interesting! Their members also educate schools, chamber members and residents on <br /> conservation efforts, rebates and partnerships. <br /> • Local Facilities— Being located near other city facilities allows residents, businesses, <br /> city and government officials to connect and build relationships. If someone has a <br /> question on a permit or a rebate, customers can stop by the local office to ask questions <br /> and get one-on-one assistance. <br /> 7 <br />
