SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
ABOUT SUB Springfield Utility Board is an independently operated municipal electric and water utility governed by a locally-elected board. Serving 25 square miles in and around the City of Springfield, Oregon (pop. 55,000), the utility offers its customers some of the lowest water and electric rates in the Pacific Northwest. SUB is a customer-owned community resource. Like other customer-owned utilities, SUB has a three-pronged mission: to provide excellent customer service, to keep rates low and affordable, and to support the community it serves.
