 | | Public utility districts are municipal corporations authorized by statute. | | | The purpose of this act is to authorize the establishment of public utility districts to conserve the water and power resources of the State of Washington for the benefit of the people thereof and to supply public utility service, including water and electricity for all uses. | | | A public utility district may sell or lease excess capacity on its fiber optic cable system to others, including private entities, assuming that the excess capacity has been acquired in amounts proportionate to the anticipated future needs of the district and not for the specific purpose of providing this service to others. |

| | Chapter 261 — People’s Utility Districts |
| | Notwithstanding any other law, people’s utility districts and municipal electric utilities may enter into transactions with other persons or entities for the production, supply or delivery of electricity on an economic, dependable and cost-effective basis, including financial products contracts and other service contracts that reduce the risk of economic losses in the transactions. | | | No moneys or other contributions supplied by a district of this state for the planning, financing, construction, acquisition, operation or maintenance of common facilities shall be credited or applied otherwise to the account of any other participant in the common facilities. | | | (1) At all elections where the creation of a district is authorized, five directors shall be elected to manage and transact the business of the district. |

| | Municipal Utility District |
| | A MUD or PUD may also be a customer-owned utility, committed to providing electricity on a cost of service basis as a customer service -- not to make a profit for stockholders or shareholders of Independently-Owned-Utilities, which have a responsibility to make a profit, and then share those profits to their shareholders, via dividends. | | | Public power utilities, on average, return to state and local governments in-lieu-of tax payments and other contributions that are equivalent to state and local taxes paid by private power companies. | | | For most cities and municipalities, the creation of a Municipal Utility District (MUD) or a Public Utility District (PUD) will quickly enable a city or municipality to send the "dis-connect" notice to their respective electric utility. |

| | The Portland Alliance Public Power post-mordem |
| | Trojan believes that private utility companies generally throw less resources into fighting PUDs in rural areas like Columbia County than in metropolitan areas like Portland, where there are more potential ratepayers and the cost of service per customer is lower. | | | Following the failure of the PUD measure, the city was considering its next step, reportedly preparing to condemn PGE’s assets if Enron refused to sell them. | | | Moreover, as Trojan pointed out before, PGE is likely to spend less money on fighting PUD measures in the more rural counties. |

If the commissioner district boundaries submitted by a the board of a public utility district do not include all the territory of the public utility district in the districting plan, the public utility district board of commissioners has the authority, and the duty, to submit a new plan correcting this infirmity. | | | To the extent there may be policy reasons that a PUD may desire to exclude from its boundaries territory that it does not provide with utility services, we defer to the Legislature. Public policy issues are properly addressed to the Legislature, not the judiciary.

The crisis played a role in Pacific Gas and Electric Co.'s bankruptcy and will leave California consumers paying abnormally high electricity prices for years. |
