Public utility districts (PUDs) in the U.S. state of Washington serve about one million of the state's electric customers in 26 counties.[1] Public utility districts are regulated by Title 54 of the Revised Code of Washington.[2][3][1] Most PUDs provide electricity; some provide other services in addition. The first PUD was Mason No. 1, created by voters on November 6, 1934, serving as of 2017[update] fewer than 5,000 customers.[4]
