residential, commercial, industrial and street lighting customers
county wide. We also own the water system that serves 3,800
Longview-Kelso area customers in the Columbia Heights, Lone Oak,
Beacon Hill and Lexington areas. We have an interlocal agreement
with Beacon Hill Sewer District, who operates and maintains the
water system.
Cowlitz PUD employs 160 women and men who
appreciate the opportunity to serve you. We have someone on-the-job
24 hours a day, 365 days a year to take your telephone
calls in case of a power outage or other electrical emergency.

We can always plan on wind storms
hitting Cowlitz County shortly after fall arrives in October or
November - and those first big storms often cause
wide-spread power outages. Make sure you are prepared…just in
case your lights go out.
