CMUA and Ruralite team up to start a leading-edge
publication focused on two of California’s hottest sectors.
(Sacramento, CA) — The California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA) has announced a partnership with Ruralite Services, Inc. (RSI) to launch a new statewide water and energy issues magazine.
The first-of-its-kind quarterly publication, California Water & Power will explore trends and topics around policy, technology, innovation, and management while showcasing how municipally owned utilities are confronting new challenges and embracing new opportunities to provide reliable, cost-effective and environmentally responsible service to Californians.
Each magazine issue will feature stories on water and energy, Q&A interviews with key industry players, a section for news from California publicly owned utilities and private industry, a recurring feature on technology and research, case studies about successful projects and more.
“California Water & Power will be the go-to source for news, information and thought leadership about what’s happening in our rapidly evolving industry, at the state Capitol in Sacramento and statewide,” said CMUA Executive Director Barry Moline. “Water and power issues have never been more visible or more discussed in California, so it‘s the perfect time to introduce a new magazine giving CMUA and our 55 member utilities and agencies a voice in the conversation.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to
partner with CMUA on this unique and visionary initiative,” said RSI CEO
Michael Shepard. “We expect California Water & Power to quickly
become a must-read on energy and water issues not just in California, but
across the U.S.”
California Water & Power will be distributed in print and digital versions to CMUA members, state regulators, policymakers and legislators, and other key influencers and stakeholders in the water and power industries. The first issue of the magazine is scheduled for publication in the spring of 2018.

CMUA and RSI are natural teammates for the new magazine.
Both organizations have worked for decades to advance the interests of community-owned
utilities. CMUA’s member agencies provide water service to 27 million people
and power service to another 9 million. Revenues for these utilities is
estimated to be $10 billion per year.
RSI, a not-for-profit communications cooperative based in
Hillsboro, Oregon, provides customizable magazines in partnership with
consumer-owned utilities, as well as website hosting and other services to
utilities in California, the West and nationwide. Its Efficiency Services
Group subsidiary, which focuses on providing energy efficiency services, has a
long history of partnership with many CMUA member utilities.
CMUA will produce the editorial content in California Water & Power, RSI will assist with content and direct the magazine’s design, production, distribution and business functions.
