One year has passed since the Kingston community came together to battle the Williamsville fire and ice storm of 2013. When the storm hit the region, Utilities Kingston was in day five of responding to the major fire that involved our multiple utility services, including water, gas, and electricity.

With our team already assembled, employees moved quickly to also assist with ice storm response. For both emergencies – the fire and the ice – employees demonstrated to our community the value of the Utilities Kingston multi-utility model and the strong sense of accountability to our shareholder, the City of Kingston.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how our employees shared resources to put the community first, and ensured effective operations and the reliability of utility infrastructure in unique circumstances. Check out our web page on Fire and Ice.
