The City of Lanesboro established a Public Utilities Commission to oversee all administrative functions of the following utilities: water, sewer, electric, and garbage. The Utility Commission consists of three council-appointed members. The Commission must hold one regular meeting per month and has all administrative authority over the day-to-day functions of the utilities as stated above.
The Lanesboro Public Utilities Commission has the ability to provide sewer services from its own Wastewater Treatment Plant and water from two wells, and a Water Treatment Facility for which it owns and maintains. Electricity is generated from the hydro-wheel, or the diesel engine that is housed in the Utility Plant. Electric energy is also purchased from Mi-Energy Cooperative. The Lanesboro Public Utilities contracts the service of garbage removal through LRS. The Lanesboro Public Utilities has developed into a self-sustained fully operational utility service for the City of Lanesboro.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Utility Bills are due on the 25th of the month, or the following business day if the 25th falls on a weekend or holiday.
- We are currently with LRS Recycles. They provide recycling and garbage carts. If you would like to rent a roll cart for recycling or garbage, you may contact LRS Recycles directly at 507-281-5850.
- This was a state mandated project, had we not completed the project there would have been fines assessed against the city. In working with the engineer on this project the City did apply for as much assistance as possible, we were awarded with principal forgiveness. The remainder of the project was financed through MN Public Facilities Authority. The Lanesboro Public Utilities then adjusted water base charges to cover the cost of the financing. This project is not funded through property taxes.
