Bowling Green Municipal Utilities

'Founded in 1976, the organization began as a municipally

owned utility serving Bowling Green, KY.'

'Over time it expanded from electric and water services to include wastewater treatment and high‑speed commercial fiber‑optic data.'

'It maintains infrastructure including thousands of streetlights, hydrants, thousands of miles of utility pipelines, valves, manholes and sewer stations.'

'Typical projects include stormwater and energy efficiency programs, infrastructure upgrades, smart thermostat programs, and outage restoration partnerships.'

'An unusual fact: it combines traditional utilities with advanced telecom services under one municipal, not

for

profit entity.'
