Colorado Springs Utilities is the largest community-owned, not-for-profit, four-service utility in the nation. For almost 100 years, we have provided Colorado Springs with safe, reliable and competitively-priced electric, natural gas, water and wastewater services. We care about our community's well-being, support local business and have an interest in all things that help make Colorado Springs a great place to live, work and play.
 
As a citizen of Colorado Springs, you own your utility. And that means you have a voice in utilities decisions. Here are a few of the benefits of having a community-owned utility.

Citizen-owners elect our governing board, City Council.

Utility decisions are made here in Colorado Springs, not by the Public Utilities Commission in Denver or at an out-of-state corporate headquarters.

Low utility bills: Rates are set only high enough to cover the cost to provide service. There are no profits that go to stakeholders in another city.

Excellent customer service: We’re consistently a top performing utility according to J.D. Power and Associates.

Reliable service: We’re a national leader with power on an average 99.991% of the time.

Protecting our environment: We live here too and want to keep our city clean and beautiful.

Giving back: Employees, their families and friends volunteer more than 10,000 hours each year on community projects.

Economic vitality: Employers are attracted to Colorado Springs because our staff and other government agencies work together to make it easy to do business here.

Tax-free, low interest rates: Municipally-owned utilities can borrow money at a lower cost, which helps keep customer rates low.

Four services, one efficient organization: Consolidated functions, such as billing, information technology and human resources, help keep costs down.
