Each year, more than 2,000 community-owned utilities, like Waupun Utilities, across the nation observe Public Power Week during the first full week of October. Public Power Week is a celebration of these not-for-profit electric utilities that proudly serve the electric power needs of about 40 million Americans - or almost 15 percent of electricity consumers.
Every public power system is different due to its community's population, geography, climate, natural resources, economy, and local government structure. However, all public power systems have in common their purpose: to provide adequate, reliable, not-for-profit electricity at a reasonable price with proper protection of the environment.
Waupun Utilities will celebrate the importance of public power during Public Power Week, the first full week in October of each year. For 2024, Waupun Utilities is celebrating significant milestones: 130 years of providing water service and 125 years of delivering electric service to our community. In celebration, our utility is hosting a 2024 Birthday Celebration Open House Event on Monday, October 21st from 11:30 am - 2:00 pm at Waupun Utilities, located at 817 S Madison St, Waupun.
