RELIABLE SERVICE
ELECTRIC WATER
BPU is dedicated to providing reliable electric service • BPU once again exceeded all standards for safe
by utilizing a diverse mix of energy sources and and high-quality water, conducting over 41,000
maintaining a modern, efficient network. Electric tests on 8,700 water samples.
reliability is assessed through three key metrics: • Approximately 6,800 hydrants were inspected to
• Frequency of interruptions. ensure they support fire safety.
• Average outage duration. • More than 500 anti-corrosion devices were
installed to extend the life of water mains and
• Restoration time. reduce pipe breaks.
These industry-standard measures are widely
recognized as best practices for comparing
utility services.
