Morristown Utilities has earned a Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3)® Diamond designation from the American Public Power Association for providing reliable and safe electric service, achieving the highest designation available by scoring a perfect 100 of 100 points.

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. Morristown Utilities joins 271 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,” says Troy Adams, Chair of APPA’s RP3 Review Panel and General Manager at Manitowoc Public Utilities, Wisconsin. “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”

“We couldn’t be prouder to be honored with this designation, our fourth consecutive Diamond designation, through this continuous improvement process which permeates across all of our divisions”, said Jody Wigington, General Manager of Morristown Utilities. “This is the culmination of a lot of work from a lot of people who really care about powering our community. This designation is not a final destination. We are committed to continuing to look for ways to improve our operations and service to our customers.”

APPA is the voice of not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that power 49 million people in 2,000 towns and cities nationwide.
