Lafayette Utilities System has a long and proud history of serving the people of Lafayette. We are your next-door neighbors and we care about the same things you do: reasonable utility rates and reliable, quality services that can protect our families and make our community better. LUS offers quality electric, water, and wastewater, and because we are customer-owned and operated, our customers have the power to control our standard of service.
LUS employs more than 460 people and is the largest department of the Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG). The main benefit the Lafayette community enjoys from owning its utility is having one of the lowest residential electric utility rates in the state. LUS is an integral part of our community and helps to keep Lafayette taxes low. Approximately $24 million of in-lieu-of-tax (ILOT) is transferred to the Consolidated Government General Fund each year. This ILOT contribution supports services like police and fire protection, parks and recreation, and community development. For more information, please visit https://www.lus.org.
