PWP Celebrates Public Power Week 2023
Every year, the first week of October is nationally recognized as Public Power Week. PWP, along with the American Public Power Association and other utilities in the U.S, celebrate Public Power Week from October 1-7, 2023.
Public Power Week is a time for utilities and other organizations to share the importance of publicly-owned utility services and the way we serve our communities. As a not-for-profit public service, PWP operates for the benefit of Pasadena's residents, businesses and visitors. Our priorities are reliability, responsiveness to customers, reasonable rates and environmental stewardship. We measure our success not by profits, but rather by the reliability and affordability of our services.
Here are some of the ways you can celebrate Public Power with us!
