Public Utilities Code

The Public Utilities Code is a set of laws that govern essential services like water, electricity, gas, and transportation in a state. It establishes rules for how utility companies operate, ensure fair prices, and protect consumers. The code also authorizes government agencies to oversee these services, approve rates, and enforce standards for safety and reliability. Its goal is to ensure that utility services are accessible, affordable, and delivered in a reliable manner, balancing the interests of consumers, providers, and the public.
