Tacoma Public Utilities provides services that are vital to our quality of life.
About us
A publicly owned utility since 1893, we operate three divisions – Tacoma Power, Tacoma Water, and Tacoma Rail and serve over 166,000 customers in the cities of Tacoma, University Place, Fircrest, portions of Fife, Lakewood, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Federal Way, and areas of Pierce County as far south as Roy. As the largest department in the Tacoma city government, our oversight is provided by a Public Utility Board, which is made up of members appointed by Tacoma's City Council. We operate using revenues from the sale of utility services, not from taxes. Our mission is to provide services that are vital to our quality of life.

You're looking at a photo of Cushman No. 2 Dam from August of 1931, only a few months after it went online in December of 1930. This hydroelectric dam on the North Fork of the Skokomish River forms Lake Kokanee and generates enough clean, renewable hydropower for 18,000 homes. Much has changed in nearly 94 years, like developing fish and wildlife programs, enriching partnerships, improving habitat restoration efforts, expanding recreation opportunities, and increasing energy production. All to provide the best balance of clean energy and a healthy environment for generations to come. #TBT

We're proudly celebrating our 112-year journey of producing clean, renewable hydropower. As needs continue to increase, it's clear that we must leverage dependable sources like hydropower to keep up with demand. Our power is water and is a naturally replenishing resource that is reliable, produces no carbon emissions, keeps our air clean and costs low. As we think about the future, we remain committed to providing the best energy possible for generations to come. #HydroDay

Great work team! Our Community Connection volunteers once again went above and beyond to support those in need.
This past Saturday, Tacoma Public Utilities and their incredible team of over 25 volunteers hit the ground running to help a homeowner in need and complete their Rebuilding Day project. Their enthusiasm and dedication were a sight to behold as they tackled various repairs throughout the day. A huge thank you to Tacoma Public Utilities for being one of our Rebuilding Day Sponsors. We're excited to continue this partnership and work together to rebuild even more homes! #WeAreRebuilders
