Welcome to Manitowoc Public Utilities

Our Mission: MPU is dedicated to providing customer-focused utility services

Our Vision: To be a community-owned regional utility that exceeds customer expectations

For over 100 years, community-owned Manitowoc Public Utilities has been a provider of utility services to the City of Manitowoc. MPU is one of the country's more than 2,000 public power utilities — a utility owned by the residents and the community it serves. During the last century, MPU has recognized its responsibility to provide reliable service, safe drinking water and environmental stewardship – all at a competitive cost.  MPU will continue to build on this foundation in the future. We are proud to be your locally owned and operated utility!

New Year, New Logo, New Addition

MPU is starting the New Year with an addition to the family and a fresh, new look! The City of Manitowoc historically transferred the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) to MPU on January 1, 2023. MPU will now be the contact for anything treatment related. The City of Manitowoc will still be the contact for wastewater collection related items.

This transfer triggered a full re-branding to be able to visually display the services MPU provides. MPU’s three enterprise funds are symbolized within the logo by their respective locating flag colors: red for electric, blue for water, and green for wastewater. To read more about the WWTF transition and/or the logo redesign, please read our press release here. 

We are proud to be our community’s essential services provider.

 

 

Refuel Renewable Project

Manitowoc Public Utilities (MPU) is celebrating one year of success on our power plant boiler refueling project. This project began in 2021 and entails refueling our two primarily fossil fuel-fired boilers to run exclusively on Wisconsin-recognized 100% renewable densified fuel pellets. These pellets are made from local non-economically-recyclable industrial paper and plastic waste that would otherwise be landfill-bound.
