FPUA Wins FMEA Building Strong Communities Award
The Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA) recently honored the community service efforts of Fort Pierce Utilities Authority (FPUA) by recognizing the municipal electric utility with the 2015 Building Strong Communities Award.
Honored on November 5, FPUA received the award for its commitment to enhancing its customers’ quality of life through community improvement programs such as Weatherization Education and Outreach Program, Keep Fort Pierce Beautiful, and Manatee Observation and Education Center.
“Being a part of the community is about more than making sure the lights are on,” said FMEA Executive Director Barry Moline. “FPUA excels in not only taking an interest in seeing their community succeed, but also actively working toward making it a better place to live and work.”
About FMEA: The Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA) represents the unified interests of 34 public power communities across the state, which provide electricity to more than 3 million of Florida’s residential and business consumers.
About FPUA: Fort Pierce Utilities Authority is a municipal utility whose mission is “to provide our customers with economical, reliable and friendly service in a continuous effort to enhance the quality of life in our community.” Fort Pierce is one of more than 2,000 communities in the United States served by a community-owned electric utility, and one of very few who also provide water, wastewater, natural gas, and Internet services. Public utility systems are owned by the people they serve. All benefits from our locally controlled utility remain right here in the community. Additional information is available at www.fpua.com.
