Belmont Light Will Celebrate Public Power Week
Belmont Light is one of 2,000 locally owned utilities in the country celebrating Public Power Week during the week of October 4 through October 10. Public Power Week is an annual event sponsored by the American Public Power Association (APPA) to celebrate the benefits of hometown, community-owned electric utilities like Belmont Light. This year marks the 29th annual Public Power Week celebration.
"We are fortunate to have a community-owned electric system in Belmont which provides safe, reliable power," General Manager Jim Palmer said. "Public Power Week reminds our customers that we are a part of an American tradition that allows local residents to make important decisions about their public power services."
"Our homes and businesses require electricity 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and we are always there to provide that power," General Manager Palmer continued. "The availability of safe, reliable electricity is a major factor in helping our community prosper."
Belmont Light has a 117-year history of customer satisfaction, reliability, and public service. Public Power Week is one way to celebrate its long-standing service to Belmont. As part of the celebration, Belmont Light representatives will be at the Farmer's Market and the Belmont Senior Center during the month of October and will be distributing energy saving information and materials to Belmont residents.
