About us

Operating for the benefit of our customers and communities, Citizens Energy Group is a public trust providing clean, efficient, and reliable energy services to customers throughout the Indianapolis area. Mission We fulfill the Promise of the Trust to provide essential utility services for our customers and communities, maintain the lowest possible rates with sound financial management, and create the greatest long-term benefit through a unique business structure. • The mission reiterates what we do and what makes us unique. • The mission states “we fulfill the Promise of the Trust”, rather than “we will fulfill the Promise of the Trust”, to reflect that our employees are actively and purposefully fulfilling that promise every day. • The statement “unique business structure” has been added to separate us from other utility service providers. Citizens is the only broad-based utility service company operating as a public charitable trust. Company Overview Citizens has a single focus on customer service because its visionary founders, including Colonel Eli Lilly, chartered the company in 1887 as a Public Trust. Using a not-for-profit approach, Citizens either returns profits to you in the form of lower rates or reinvests profits to make its facilities more reliable and efficient. While most utilities are beholden to the quarterly demands of out-of-town stockholders, the unique Citizens Trust simply means everything we do is focused on serving you.

  • Conserving water isn’t just about saving on your bill - it’s about protecting a resource we all depend on. As the water provider for Indianapolis, we want to help you make a big impact in protecting our most precious resource. Here are simple steps you can take to reduce water usage and protect water quality: 👚 Only run the dishwasher and washing machine when they are full and use a water-saver cycle if you have one. 🚿 Reduce water use in the bathroom and kitchen. Don't leave the water running as you brush your teeth, shave, or wash dishes. Take shorter showers. 🔧 Regularly check your toilet, faucets, and pipes for leaks. 💧 Limit lawn watering to 1-2 times per week for no more than 30 minutes. 🌧️ Be aware of the weather. Rain serves as a natural irrigation so adjust accordingly. By making these WaterWise choices, you’re helping to conserve water, protect our local environment, and save money - all while keeping Indianapolis’ water quality strong for generations to come.
