• Electric Division
• Water Division (Residential and Commercial)
• Wastewater Division

The City of Bushnell Utilities Department provides electric, water and wastewater services to both residential and commercial customers. The department is responsible for the daily operations of, repair and maintenance of, and new construction of these three utilities.

The electrical distribution system is designed to provide retail power to customers within the Bushnell area. In addition to the electric services, the City owns and operates a fiber system providing limited broadband services to its own locations and to other government offices in the area.

The water distribution system consists of two water plants within the city limits of Bushnell, and one that is located in Sumterville. These three plants are operated to deliver quality water to the residents and commercial customers of Bushnell and to the commercial district of Sumterville.

Additionally, the City of Bushnell owns and operates two wastewater treatment plants. Sewer services are available to many Bushnell residents and commercial customers. The City also provides sewer services to Sumterville though a series of lift stations and individual pump stations. Similar services have been made available to the City of Webster through a wholesale agreement that allows Webster’s wastewater to flow to The City of Bushnell David Hanson Wastewater Treatment Facility.

The Utilities Department is under the direction of the Utilities Director who oversees the planning, budgeting and operation of all of the divisions. Mr. Bruce Hickle serves as the Utilities Director and has held this position since 2003. His staff of eight is responsible for the operation, maintenance and construction of the various utilities.
