Established in 1895, Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) is the City of Riverside’s largest Enterprise Fund providing water and electric utility services. It is governed by an appointed board of nine community volunteers and the seven members of City Council. With an annual budget of $450 million, RPU provides high quality, reliable services to more than 110,000 metered electric customers and 66,000 metered water customers in and around the City of Riverside.

Riverside is one of more than 2,000 cities in the United States that light up homes and businesses with “public power” – electricity that comes from a community-owned and operated utility. Additionally, RPU maintains local water resources that allows RPU to
meet customer demands while being 100% independent from imported water sources.

Riverside Public Utilities acts competitively, with a sharp focus on customers, while maintaining a financially sound utility. Compared to other local utilities, Riverside’s rates are lower, reliability is higher, and more funds are returned to the local community in the way of low-income assistance, rebates, and community support. Join the team to keep this tradition strong for years.
