At Jefferson Utilities, we strive to provide low-cost, reliable service with a friendly, personal touch. Afterall, we are your friends and neighbors who share your values and understand your needs. That’s what makes a local, community-owned utility a valuable asset to citizens and the community.

Utility History

Jefferson Utilities was founded more than 100 years ago by the citizens of Jefferson. Jefferson's early founders voted to establish their own city-owned utility to provide light to its downtown area and to encourage economic development.

While a lot has changed over the past 100 years, the focus of Jefferson Utilities has not. Today, we still offer our customers some of the lowest electric rates in Wisconsin - rates significantly lower than those in areas that are served by investor-owned utilities.

We also provide our customers with clean, high quality water that meets or exceeds all state and federal standards. And, as part of the community, Jefferson affords its citizens a voice in its decisions and programs.
