PUD 3 Celebrates Public Power Week October 4-10

Mason County PUD No. 3 is celebrating Public Power Week, October 4-10, along with more than 2,000 other electric utilities that provide their citizens electricity services on a not-for-profit basis.

Public Power Week celebrates affordable electricity and wholesale telecommunications services for customers in Mason County. The week-long observation also honors the democratic tradition of community decision-making that led to the founding of the PUD in the 1934 general election. PUD 3 began serving homes with electricity in 1939.

PUD 3’s Public Power Week activities include a daily drawing (Monday through Friday) for a multi-pack of compact fluorescent light bulbs at both the Shelton and Belfair offices.

Monday's drawing winner at the Shelton office is Wanda Baker of Shelton. The drawing winner at the Belfair office is Robert Lindsey of Allyn.
Tuesday's drawing winner at the Shelton office is Sandra Morrison of Shelton. The drawing winner at the Belfair office is Stephanie Grogan of Allyn.
Wednesday's drawing winner at the Shelton office is Meleni Coleman of Shelton. The drawing winner at the Belfair office is Kim Van Hoover of Belfair.
Thursday's drawing winner at the Shelton office is Irene Rendon of Shelton. The drawing winner at the Belfair office is Richard Moore of Belfair.
Friday's drawing winner at the Shelton office is Jennifer Moore of Lake Cushman. The drawing winners at the Belfair office are Michael and Mary Wingren of Belfair.

PUD 3 also provides for compact fluorescent light bulb recycling at its Shelton and Belfair offices. Undamaged, used bulbs are collected and taken to the Mason County Solid Waste facility on Eells (PRON: ells) Hill Road near Shelton for recycling. The service is free.

Public power’s distinct characteristics help the lives of PUD 3 customers become more powerful every day while they are working, playing or enjoying the comforts of home.

Public Power Week is celebrated in conjunction with the American Public Power Association (APPA) in Washington, D.C. APPA is a national service organization for community and state-owned electric utilities.

Mason County PUD No. 3 is a locally controlled public utility that provides electricity to nearly 33,000 customer/owners in most of Mason County and small portions of Kitsap and Grays Harbor Counties. PUD 3 also provides wholesale telecommunications services to its customers through a fiber optic network.
