Two years later, CPU is holding true to a Bright Future for Clarksdale
March 2019 was an exciting time at Clarksdale Public Utilities. We were rolling out our Bright Future improvement initiative and preparing to celebrate our 120th anniversary.
A lot has happened since then, but despite the challenges our community has experienced with the pandemic, we have worked hard to keep our focus on providing safe, reliable, affordable and convenient utility services to keep Clarksdale moving forward.
Knowing that utilities are available when you need them is the foundation of our service commitment. We are pleased that the reliability rate for our electrical system is over 99%, and that our water and sewer services have maintained compliance with local, state and federal regulations.
While making sure we covered the basics, we also introduced new technologies like the upgraded Powerline customer web portal and CPU mobile app, both of which provide 24/7 account access and make it easier for customers to do business with CPU.
By staying true to our Bright Future commitments, CPU is prepared to meet our customers’ current and future needs while upholding the values that have made us successful for the past 122 years. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our customers, and you can count on us to continue being trustworthy and responsible stewards of your utility system in the years ahead.
