Lebanon Utilities is a municipally-owned electric, water and wastewater utility serving the city of Lebanon, Ind. It also operates the telecommunications division of the city. A municipal utility has many distinct characteristics that benefit the community it serves. One of the most important benefits is local control. Every citizen of Lebanon is a utility owner, with a direct say in the policies that affect our rates and service. Other benefits of a municipal utility include lower rates, public accountability, community involvement, not-for-profit operations, local decision-making, and full attention to customer service. Most of its employees and every member of the Utility Service Board live in Lebanon and take personal pride in the jobs that they do.
