Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) has earned their seventh Diamond level Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3) ® designation from the American Public Power Association for providing reliable and safe electric service.

The RP3 designation, which lasts for three years, recognizes public power utilities that demonstrate proficiency in four key disciplines: reliability, safety, workforce development and system improvement. Criteria include sound business practices and a utility-wide commitment to safe and reliable delivery of electricity. PWC joins more than 250 public power utilities nationwide that hold the RP3 designation.

“Receiving an RP3 designation is a great honor signifying a utility has demonstrated commitment to industry best practices,” said Chair of APPA’s RP3 Review Panel and General Manager at Kansas City Board of Public Utilities Jeremy Ash in a press release. "And ultimately, the culture developed from this pursuit of excellence and continued improvement through the RP3 program results in measurable value delivered to the local community.”

PWC manages  a 1,400-mile distribution and transmission system comprised of 37,853 streetlights and 32 substations. PWC also operates the Butler-Warner Generation plant.

“This designation reflects the dedication and hard work of our team in ensuring safe, affordable electric services for our neighbors at a reliability rate among the best of all electric utilities in the Country,” said CEO/General Manager of Fayetteville PWC Timothy Bryant in a press release. “We are proud to be recognized among the top public power utilities in the nation, and we will continue striving for excellence for our community.”
