About The Company
From the first flicker of electricity that lit a downtown Newnan street corner, Newnan Utilities has been committed to delivering the services that enhance the quality of life throughout Coweta County. As we enter our second century, Newnan Utilities continues to light and lead the way in more ways than most local utility providers. In 2017, Newnan Utilities leadership decided it was time to take our charitable giving to the next level. In an effort to be more purposeful in our charitable giving and to partner with our customers on a grander scale, we established the Newnan Utilities Foundation and a unique opportunity to give through the Caring Customers program.
