Public Utility Districts were organized in Washington State as locally-controlled municipal corporations to conserve water and power resources and to provide electric, water, sewer and wholesale telecommunications service to their owners. They were authorized as a result of Initiative 1, which was approved by the voters of Washington State in the 1930's. The Washington State Grange was instrumental in providing residents of the state with the opportunity to form their own utilities for vital services.
