Its five commissioners approve the department's contracts, bond sales and service rules, such as the Sept. 8, 2026 request to authorize up to $1.081 billion in Power System revenue bonds.

The Board of Water and Power Commissioners' Oct. 13 meeting agenda lists up to $493.485 million in Water System revenue bonds to refinance 2017 bonds, the $200 million Granada Trunk Line Replacement Project and six security contracts worth up to $45 million combined (agenda).
