Our Mission
Owensboro Municipal Utilities’ mission is to serve our community by providing reliable and quality utility services at the most economical cost.
OMU is a Public Utility
Owensboro is a public power community. This means residents own our electric, water, and telecommunications utilities. Public power produces several advantages, including affordable and reliable services, a customer-focused philosophy, and a utility that cares about the overall well-being of our community.
