Town of Front Royal careers
1 verified opening
Front Royal runs one of sixteen municipal electric systems in Virginia. Its Department of Energy Services has supplied power for over 123 years and reaches almost 8,000 customers in the town and in Warren County, operating as a self-supported enterprise fund whose entire cost comes back through the electric rate. The town takes an active part in federal and state legislation on electricity costs, and belongs to industry organizations doing the same.
Keeping outages short is what the utility says it exists to do, so line and electric administration staff work an early shift out of Manassas Avenue and answer an emergency number after hours. Elsewhere the town keeps a police department, information technology, a finance office, planning and zoning, and a public works operation covering streets, vehicles, water and sewer lines, water treatment, refuse and recycling collection, and horticulture.
