What a public utility district website needs to do
Customers want service status, how to pay, how to report a problem and what a rate change means. Lead with those tasks, publish board meeting information, and keep the tone plain.
Utility sites are visited at stressful moments. A calm page that states what to do, who to call and where status updates appear matters more than a long organization story.
People searching for a public utility district usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.
Report a problem
Phone and form
Pay a bill
Link to your provider
See notices
Outages and projects
Read board information

Timing matters. Storms, summer demand and annual rate notices drive traffic.
