History & Overview
Welcome to the Seattle Public Utilities Web Site
Every day Seattle Public Utilities is becoming more efficient while continuing to meet environmental and customer needs. I’ve set in place an Asset Management system, designed to increase productivity and provide cost effectiveness in service delivery. This will ensure we are providing the greatest benefit at a lower cost on behalf of our ratepayers.
