Value of Public Power

The city of Lake Mills owns and operates its own local utility and has long been committed to helping make our community a great place to live and work. As a public power community, we are in the business of meeting customers’ needs and providing a higher level of service.

Local Ownership

Lake Mills Light & Water is dedicated to meeting our customers’ needs while helping to make the community a better place to live and work. We are one of the country’s 2,200 public power systems – a utility owned by the community it serves.

Economic Value

We know that electric costs can be a significant part of your business’s operating budget. Community-owned utilities like us tend to have lower electric rates than nearby investor-owned utilities. Simply put, doing business here – in a public power community – just makes sense.
