Public Utilities

A public utility is an essential service provider that delivers crucial services to the public, such as electricity, water, gas, telecommunications, transportation, and waste management.  These services are considered vital for the functioning and well-being of a community.  

Public utilities are heavily regulated to ensure reliable, fair, and affordable access to these services. They often operate as monopolies or have limited competition due to the high infrastructure costs involved. Government oversight and regulations are in place to protect consumer interests and ensure the responsible operation of these critical services.
