ANAHEIM PUBLIC UTILITIES RECEIVES NATIONAL AWARD
FOR RELIABLE AND SAFE ELECTRIC SERVICE
ANAHEIM, CA (April 29, 2008) - Anaheim Public Utilities has received the prestigious Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3) award from the American Public Power Association (APPA). The award, which was presented at the association’s recent Engineering & Operations Technical Conference in Indianapolis, recognizes utility companies for providing customers with the highest degree of reliable and safe electric service.
Anaheim received Platinum Level status in the areas of reliability, safety, training and system improvement. Criteria within each area are based on sound business practices and represent a utility-wide commitment to safe and reliable delivery of electricity.
“It’s an honor to be recognized as a national RP3 designee,” said Marcie Edwards, Utilities General Manager. “This recognition is a tremendous testimony to the quality work our employees do everyday, especially when you consider that only about 4 percent of the country’s public utilities receive this award.”
“RP3 designees exemplify the highest standards of utility operations,” said Paul Allen, chair of APPA’s RP3 Review Panel. “These utilities are leading the way in providing reliable and safe electric service to their communities.”
