Our Commitment

Kern Utility Co. stands at the forefront of providing reliable wastewater services, driven by an unwavering commitment to safety, quality, and environmental stewardship. As a regulated utility, our operations are meticulously overseen by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) and the Missouri Public Service Commission (MoPSC). These regulatory bodies enforce stringent standards that govern every aspect of our operations—from the treatment and discharge of wastewater to the rigorous testing protocols and transparent billing practices we uphold. This oversight not only ensures compliance but also instills confidence in our customers, assuring them of the integrity and reliability of the services we provide.

We recognize the profound responsibility we hold towards the communities we serve. Our dedicated team of licensed professionals is equipped with the expertise and training necessary to maintain and operate wastewater systems with the utmost precision and care. Our proactive approach to quality assurance, coupled with a robust emergency response strategy, guarantees that we deliver reliable service and safe operations. We are committed to continuous improvement, investing in cutting-edge technologies, ongoing staff training, and comprehensive compliance oversight. This dedication ensures that our customers receive not only efficient service but also one that aligns with both state and federal environmental regulations.

At Kern Utility Co., we understand that our mission transcends mere infrastructure maintenance; it is fundamentally about safeguarding the health of our waterways and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come. Each treatment cycle we conduct, every compliance test we perform, and all maintenance activities we undertake contribute to the preservation of Missouri’s invaluable natural resources. Our commitment to sustainable operations is not just a goal; it is a long-term vision that drives us to leave the environment in a better state than we found it. By ensuring clean water and safe communities, we are actively working to protect the well-being of our children and the generations that will follow, fostering a legacy of environmental responsibility and community health.
