Corporate Organization
Utilities Kingston is unique in Ontario, combining water, wastewater, gas and electricity services and a broadband fibre optics provider in one company under the leadership of a single CEO.
This structure enables the complex choreography of multiple work programs with our partner and shareholder, the City of Kingston, leading to the timely and cost-effective completion of the work. Along with helping to ensure that infrastructure repairs are less disruptive to residents and businesses, one of the most obvious benefits of a multi-utility structure that has all services under one roof, is cost-savings from economies of scope. We benefit from a shared services model for activities, equipment, and systems, ranging from customer care, billing, accounting, fleet and even some operational functions.
