High-Voltage Safety Demonstration: Prioritizing Safety
Safety is our November 1 priority for our employees and the people we serve. That’s why we offer a High-Voltage Safety Demonstration to groups and organizations in our service area. This eye-opening program illustrates the potential hazards of coming into contact with power lines. The demonstration is available at no cost to all groups and organizations and is suitable for audiences of all ages.
Jr. Energy Auditor Program: Educating Future Energy Experts
Our Jr. Energy Auditor program, designed for 4th and 5th-grade students, aims to spark conversations about energy conservation and raise awareness about LMUD’s role in the community. Each participating student receives a Jr. Energy Auditor kit with a backpack, notebook, workbook, and writing supplies. The program features in-class energy conservation and awareness presentations, supplemented by engaging animated videos demonstrating energy-saving techniques.
To provide hands-on experience, we lend each classroom a Kill-a-Watt meter, allowing students to measure energy consumption firsthand. Upon completing their workbooks, students are rewarded with a $10 gift certificate to Margie’s Book Nook, our local bookstore.
LMUD Community Scholarship Program: Investing in Higher Education

Youth-Focused Sponsorships: Supporting Our Community
As a publicly owned utility, LMUD is committed to being an integral part of our community. We offer sponsorships for a wide range of youth-focused events and activities, subject to specific guidelines. These sponsorships must benefit local, nonprofit organizations within LMUD’s service territory and focus on youth, from preschool children to college students. Sponsorships are limited to $300 each and 1 per year, per organization.
Through these programs, LMUD demonstrates its commitment to fostering a safe, educated, and engaged community. We believe that by investing in our youth, from preschool through college, we’re investing in a brighter future for all.
