CWLP Financial Data

The City Water, Light & Power Finance Division manages the finances of the municipally owned water and electric utilities of the City of Springfield. Each utility system is a separate Enterprise Fund of the City and, as a result, the Water and Electric Funds are separate legal and accounting entities from each other and from other Funds of the City of Springfield. Separate financial records are maintained for each utility system. Each CWLP Fund stands alone in terms of its security pledge to bondholders and its credit ratings.
