Our Mission: Owensboro Municipal Utilities’ mission is to serve our community by providing quality utility services at the most economical cost.

Since 1900, Owensboro Municipal Utilities has been bringing water and electricity to the citizens of Owensboro. In 1997, the locally-owned and operated utility began offering Internet services to commercial customers; expanding this service in 2002 to reach residential users with innovative wireless technology.

OMU is the largest municipal electric and water system in Kentucky with more than 26,000 electric, 24,000 water and 160 telecommunications customers.

OMU takes pride in being a municipally-owned utility. Our employees are active in the community, being involved in everything from coaching little league baseball to serving on the board of various vital non-profit agencies in Owensboro-Daviess County.
