Public Utility District No. 1 of Whatcom County (PUD) is a steward of water and energy resources providing locally controlled utility services and resource protection for the benefit of the residents, businesses and agricultural community of greater Whatcom.
We are your community-based water and electric utility. With a locally elected Board of Commissioners, the PUD has been meeting the utility needs of Whatcom County industries for over 80 years.
PUD #1 is also involved in local and regional environmental matters, salmon habitat/stream flow restoration, along with utility issues, in an effort to better serve everyone in Whatcom County.
In 1937, county citizens voted in support of a PUD. We are one of 28 PUDs in Washington State, and are proud of the tradition of supporting requests for action from the citizens of Whatcom County.
“I am moved not only to devote diligence
but even love to any matters under my care (which I bring now) to the
duties of Water Commissioner, duties contributing partly to the convenience,
partly to the health, even to the safety of the city.”
Water Commissioner of Rome, First Century A.D.
