Established in 1939, KUB is a municipal utility providing electric, natural gas, water and wastewater services to more than 450,000 customers in Knox and parts of seven surrounding counties in east Tennessee. KUB employees provide high quality service in all areas, with a Reliable Public Power Provider designation in its electric system; multiple awards for regulatory performance in its wastewater operations, and outstanding compliance records in its water and natural gas systems.
