GWP Honored

Glendale Water & Power received an American Public Power Association Sue Kelly Community Service Award during the American Public Power Association’s Public Power Connect: Virtual Summit & Business Meeting.

In addition, GWP employees dedicated their time to represent GWP and promote the utility’s various programs at local events.
