ECU is governed by a three member Commission of Public Works. Each member of the Commission serves a six year term that are staggered with respect to the starting date of each term. One commission seat is up for election every two years. To qualify for a commission seat the candidate must be a resident of the City of Easley. The Commission has the authority and responsibility to hire the General Manager, to set rates and charges for utility service, to approve budgets, to set regulations for the operation of the utility, and to plan for future utility expansion. If the Commission determined that system expansion is needed, the Commission will petition the City of Easley to pass a revenue bond ordinance authorizing the City to borrow money for utility system expansion. From the very start - over 100 years ago - the citizens of Easley have exercised control over their utility system through election of commissioners. Easley Combined Utilities is a citizen-created, not-for-profit, locally owned and locally controlled utility. As we enter into our second century of service, our community's residents and businesses still have a voice in the management and operation of their utilities, ensuring that the city of Easley remains an excellent place to live and work.
