In Westerville, we control our destiny. In June 2012, when a powerful windstorm blew in and out of town in less than 30 minutes, leaving destruction all over the Columbus Region, city services sprang into action before the storm had even fully cleared. By the end of the weekend, with an estimated two million people in the storm’s path, Westerville crews had restored service and removed dangerous storm debris. This is just one example of the many benefits provided by municipally owned and operated utilities.
