“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in celebration of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission's recent 70th anniversary. The Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission was created or established in 1915, when a private citizen started Elk River Power and Light. The business was eventually purchased by the village of Elk River and operated by the city council. Later on, when their responsibilities expanded to include water, the council created the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission. Throughout the years, this organization has not only seen their responsibilities expand, but their jurisdiction expand as well. In fact, today, the commission covers Otsego, Dayton, and Big Lake, in addition to the Elk River area, providing services to more than 11,000 Minnesota customers. Thank you to everyone that makes the Elk River Municipal Utilities work, and congratulations on 70 years of great service to our communities. An Incredible Anniversary”
