These words describe the benefits offered by an establishment in your community; one whose services you utilize every single day: your local municipal electric utility. We celebrate these advantages and more during Public Power Week Oct. 4-10. Madison is a public power community. The city owns and operates its own electric utility; an investment that had YOU, the citizens in mind. Public power utilities do not serve stockholders.
