Welcome to Alachua's Public Services

As a resident, business or guest of Alachua, you are a part of a community that is committed to providing reliable, affordable, and sustainable resources.  City of Alachua Public Services is at the heart of this commitment, offering a range of benefits that not only enhance your quality of life but also contribute to a better, more sustainable future for generations to come.

Local Control and Accountability

Unlike private utilities, which are often driven by profit motives, Alachua Public Services is owned and operated by the City.  This means decisions about rates, service quality, and investments are made locally, with your best interests in mind.  You have a voice in how your utility is run, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Affordable Rates

One of the key benefits of Public Services is its ability to provide affordable rates for our residents.  By eliminating the need to generate profits for shareholders, we can focus on delivering reliable services at the lowest possible cost.  This helps keep your utility bills stable and predictable, even as energy and material costs fluctuate.

Reliable Services

 Alachua Public Services is dedicated to providing reliable services to our community.  We invest in modern infrastructure, maintenance, and upgrades to ensure that your lights stay on, your water runs, and your appliances work when you need them most.  Plus, with local control, we can respond quickly to outages and other issues, minimizing disruptions to your daily life.

Community Investment

 As a municipal utility, we reinvest any revenues back into the community. This means that your utility payments are helping fund local projects, infrastructure improvements, and services that benefit everyone.  By supporting Alachua Public Services, you are helping build a stronger, more vibrant community for all.

Customer Service

 At our Alachua Public Services, we pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service.  Our dedicated team is here to answer your questions, address your concerns, and help you make the most of our services.  We are committed to making your experience with us a positive and hassle-free.

What Alachua's Public Services Does for the Community

We provide and maintain the physical facilities that make the Good Life Community possible.

We safeguard and enrich the human environment by making possible clean water at the turn of the tap, light and power at the touch of a switch, and create paved roads that facilitate the movement of people and goods.  Each of these aspects, in turn, empower the Good Life Community to attain a high quality of life.

We operate and maintain essential public infrastructure: water, wastewater, electricity, transportation, trash and recycle, mosquito control and other vital systems.  We have grown as your needs have grown, and we have always stayed grounded in providing you with the best service possible.

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life and to protect the public interest by effectively maintaining the City utility infrastructure.  We achieve this by following sound environmental policies, ensuring applicable code compliance, and consistently striving for process improvement.
