About the Illinois Municipal Utilities Association 

WE PROVIDE TOP NOTCH TRAINING, ADVOCACY, and MUTUAL AID ASSISTANCE

The Illinois Municipal Utilities Association (IMUA) is a nonprofit service organization that  represents Illinois municipalities that own and operate public utility systems.  We bring together energy professionals with similar needs to create a synergy of support and resources. 

We provide information, training and professional representation ensuring our member municipalities can generate and provide safe, efficient and reliable power to the residents who depend on them.

	Top-Notch Training Programs Our training programs are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of municipal utilities as well as obtaining compliance with various regulatory requirements.
