MLGW coverage in one place: the city-owned utility that delivers electricity, natural gas, and water to Memphis households, plus the board that sets the rates, the spending, and the reliability calls made with ratepayer money. Every rate move and board vote is put on the record.
The utility told the City Council the project would push rates down, not up, and would be fully operational by December 2028. The presentation did not include a public price tag.
