We at IMU are proud of our long history of serving the Indianola community. As a public power community, we all enjoy local governance and control in providing reliable, responsive, not-for-profit services. Public power utilities are directly accountable to the people they serve and reflect hometown values and characteristics. Other benefits of community ownership include competitive rates, community involvement, not-for-profit operations, public accountability, local decision-making, and full attention to customer service. Our workforce consists of mostly Indianola residents and we take personal pride in serving the Indianola community.
Indianola’s publicly owned utility has served the community for over a century, beginning with electric service in 1890. Although there have been many changes in the way of industry standards, technology and equipment over the years, the ability to provide our customers with the most cost-effective, reliable service possible has remained consistent.
