The Hannibal Board of Public Works (HBPW) is
celebrating Public Utilities Week, October 5-11, along with 2,000 other not-for-profit utilities that
collectively provide electricity, water, sewer, and stormwater services to 55 million Americans across
49 states and 5 U.S. territories.
“The HBPW, like the other 2,000 municipally owned utilities across the nation, is working with one
purpose: powering a strong community.,” said Erica Mitchell, Coordinator of Customer & Community
Relations at the Hannibal Board of Public Works. “We go to work each day with a sharp focus on our
customers. Since we operate right here in Hannibal and serve our friends and neighbors, we care a
great deal about things like customer service, helping folks save energy and money, and providing
the most reliable service possible.”
Today, the Hannibal Board of Public Works has over 60 employees and 3 facilities, including a Water
Treatment Plant and a Wastewater Treatment Plant, that continue to serve the Hannibal community.
