Clark Public Utilities has received good marks from the Washington state Auditor’s Office.

In its accountability and compliance report issued Monday, the auditor’s office said the utility’s “internal controls were adequate to safeguard public assets” and that the utility also “complied with state laws and regulations and its own policies and procedures in the areas we examined.”

The areas the auditor’s office examined included utility billing and adjustments; debt covenants; open public meetings laws; bidding and prevailing wage rules; ethics laws; payroll and personnel benefits; and environmental program compliance.

Clark PUD provides electricity to more than 183,000 customers in the county. It also provides water to about 30,000 customers in Hazel Dell, Salmon Creek, Lake Shore, Hockinson, Brush Prairie, La Center, Meadow Glade, Amboy and Yacolt.
