From its inception as a tiny water works company in the mid-1800s to its role today as the largest municipal utility in Illinois, City Water, Light and Power (CWLP) has had a long and proud—and sometimes tumultuous—history. The utility has become an integral part of the Springfield community, providing service and value that extends far beyond the high-quality drinking water and low-cost electric power produced at the utility's combined lakeside filtration plant and generating stations.

We're happy to have this opportunity to help you get to know us better and to share with you some of the highlights of both our past and present.
