New Richmond Utilities Celebrates Public Power
New Richmond Utilities hosted our 6th annual customer appreciation picnic on Wednesday August 22. The celebration also signified 117 years of our community-owned utility. This was a great opportunity to thank customers, and highlight the benefits of being a public power community.
