Logansport Utilities

What Logansport Utilities does

Logansport Utilities is a municipal utility owned and operated by the City of Logansport, Indiana, providing electricity, water, wastewater treatment, and stormwater management services to residential, commercial, and industrial customers within the Logansport service territory. Established in 1895, the utility has operated continuously for 130 years under the governance of a Utility Service Board established in 1978, with rates approved by the Logansport City Council. The organization serves more than 12,600 electric customers, approximately 7,300 water customers, and approximately 7,500 wastewater customers, distributing electricity sourced wholesale from NextEra Energy through more than 20 miles of transmission lines, 7 substations, and 400 miles of distribution lines.

The utility's portfolio centers on four core service lines: electric distribution, water distribution from a 24/7-monitored well field system, wastewater treatment at the 9 million-gallon-per-day Water Renewal Center (renamed in January 2026 from the Wastewater Treatment Plant), and stormwater management through 20 miles of dedicated piping combined with combined sewer overflow infrastructure. Supporting these services, Logansport Utilities has invested in technology-enabled capabilities including the Sensus-powered Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) smart meter system completed in November 2025, a cloud-based GIS digital mapping system of approximately 22,000 utility poles developed with NV5 Geospatial in March 2026, and 24/7 self-serve bill payment kiosks. Tyson Foods is identified as the largest industrial customer, contributing approximately 30% of dry weather wastewater influent flow.

Revenue is generated through recurring monthly usage-based charges across electric, water, wastewater, and stormwater services, supplemented by capacity and flat facility fees. The utility is executing its first electric rate adjustment in twelve years under a 2025-2029 schedule and a multi-year combined water/wastewater phase-in plan. Capital expenditures are funded through State Revolving Fund grants and zero-interest loans, municipal bonds, and budgeted capital funds, supporting an active infrastructure program that includes a $19.7 million headworks replacement contract, a multi-phase steel pole replacement covering approximately 360 transmission poles, and a citywide effort to replace 4,500 lead and galvanized steel water service lines at no cost to customers.

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• American Water Works Company: Largest publicly traded US water and wastewater utility. Comparable in providing regulated water and wastewater services with extensive infrastructure, AMI/IT modernization, and capital improvement programs, but at vastly greater scale and geographic diversification.
• Essential Utilities: Large multi-utility providing regulated water, wastewater, and natural gas distribution across multiple states. Comparable due to its multi-utility regulated service model and rate-base growth strategy, though it is investor-owned and far more geographically diversified.

Direct peers

• Citizens Energy Group: Indianapolis-based municipal multi-utility providing electric, natural gas, water, and wastewater services to a similar mix of residential, commercial, and industrial customers under a regulated, city-owned structure — directly comparable to Logansport Utilities' bundled municipal utility model.
• Indiana American Water: Investor-owned water and wastewater utility serving communities across Indiana. Comparable because it operates water distribution and wastewater treatment under state regulation (IURC) using similar rate-base and capital-improvement frameworks, even though investor-owned rather than municipal.
• California Water Service Group: Investor-owned water utility providing regulated water and wastewater service to multiple communities. Comparable for rate-base growth, capital improvement execution, AMI deployment, and PFAS/regulatory compliance dynamics facing small-to-mid-sized water utilities.
• Middlesex Water Company: Small-cap investor-owned water and wastewater utility. Comparable for the operational profile of a small regulated water/wastewater utility with focused capital improvement programs and rate-base growth, though it is investor-owned rather than municipal.

Regional players

• AES Indiana (formerly Indianapolis Power & Light): Investor-owned electric distribution utility serving Indianapolis and surrounding Indiana territory. Comparable as an Indiana-regulated electric distributor with similar AMI, rate case, and grid modernization dynamics, though it does not operate water/wastewater assets.
• Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO): Investor-owned electric and natural gas utility serving northern Indiana under IURC regulation. Comparable for electric distribution infrastructure, rate-case processes, and Stormwater/environmental compliance considerations in Indiana, though not a water/wastewater operator.

Others

• Sensus (Xylem): Vendor partner of Logansport Utilities providing the AMI smart meter infrastructure. Included as an ecosystem/technology peer rather than a competitor, but highly relevant for understanding the technology stack underpinning Logansport's metering modernization.
• NV5 Geospatial: GIS/LiDAR mapping vendor partnering with Logansport Utilities on the utility-pole digital mapping project. Ecosystem peer relevant to the utility's asset management and digital twin modernization roadmap.
