OUC Honored For Community Outreach Success

ORLANDO – The Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA) has honored OUC—The Reliable One for enriching Central Florida in the areas of education, the environment, charitable donations and other community outreach.

OUC received the 2003 Community Service Award in FMEA's large utility category, which applies to public power systems serving more than 50,000 customers.

"When it comes to community service, OUC and its employees continually go above and beyond the call of duty," says Bob Haven, OUC's general manager and CEO. "We're proud to take an active role in making our community a great place to live."

FMEA recognized OUC for more than 30 of the utility's programs, including its charitable support of local health and human service agencies, its comprehensive tree-care management program, its hurricane preparedness materials for the public and its energy-efficiency rebate programs for customers.

Based in Tallahassee, the Florida Municipal Electric Association represents the unified interests of 32 public power communities across the state, which provide electricity to more than 2 million of Florida's residential and business consumers.

OUC—The Reliable One lives up to its name by providing the best record of electric reliability in the state of Florida and delivering high-quality, great-tasting drinking water to its customers. Established in 1923 and owned by the citizens of Orlando, OUC is the state's second-largest municipal utility, serving more than 190,000 customers in Orlando, St. Cloud and parts of unincorporated Orange and Osceola counties.
