The Cooperative Advantage
As a cooperative, we operate differently from other utilities. We don’t have distant shareholders demanding profits. Instead, we are owned by you—the members who use our services.
Local Governance
We are guided by a Board of Directors composed of nine member-owners elected by the membership. These neighbors represent your interests and ensure the cooperative remains financially stable and community-focused.
Your Equity: Capital Credits
Because we are not-for-profit, any "margins" (revenue left after expenses) are allocated back to our members. This is known as Capital Credits. When you pay your bill, you aren't just buying power—you are investing in the infrastructure of your own cooperative.
