Bardwell Mayor Phillip King
PUBLIC POWER WEEK
Editor's Note: Mayor King sent me this PSA a few weeks ago and it was a tiny bit early. Then I forgot to run it. Apologies to Mayor King and congratulations for a hometown power source that seems to be working for the residents of Bardwell.
The Bardwell City Utilities is one of more than two thousand utilities providing Public Power on a not-for-profit basis to 45 million Americans.
As we celebrate Public Power Week – the Bardwell City Utilities is proud to have served Bardwell’s power needs since July 1st 1941. The first operating power plant in Bardwell was purchased April 5th , 1898 for a price of $780.68. The first power plant in Bardwell was operated off of steam.
