At Colorado Springs Utilities, we focus our attention on the basics – our four core services of electricity, natural gas, water, and wastewater. The result: a more efficient community-owned utility. The citizens of Colorado Springs continue to reap the benefits of community ownership – enjoying competitive prices, exceptional hometown service, responsible environmental practices, and a voice in how their utility operates. As a locally-owned, not-for-profit utility, we are solely focused on meeting the needs of our friends and neighbors. Community ownership means making investments in the place we call home. It means employees volunteer their personal time for local causes. It means hometown service.
