(KANSAS CITY, Ks.) —The Kansas City Board of Public Utilities (BPU) Ethics Commission will meet on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. at the West Wyandotte Branch of the Public Library.

 

The purpose of the Ethics Commission is to ensure proper implementation of BPU’s code of ethics and act as the policy-setting body for ethics issues at the utility.

BPU’s water department was originally created in 1909, and its electric utility was operational in 1912. The purpose of the utility, then and to this day, is to provide the highest quality electric and water services at the lowest possible cost. Today the publicly owned utility serves approximately 65,000 electric and 51,000 water customers, primarily in Wyandotte County, Kansas. The mission of the utility and its employees is “to focus on the needs of our customers, to improve the quality of life in our community while promoting safe, reliable and sustainable utilities.” BPU’s Web site is www.bpu.com.
