The main purpose of this chapter is to ensure that Poulsbo will have utilities to adequately serve the Land Use Plan. Policies also address the quality, reliability, safety and regulation of the services provided. The Growth Management Act requires all comprehensive plans to contain a Utilities Element that “includes the general location, proposed locations, and capacity of all existing and proposed utilities, including but not limited to electrical lines, telecommunication lines, and natural gas lines.” (RCW 36.70A.070(4)). In Poulsbo, as in many cities, utilities are provided by a combination of city-managed and non city-managed providers. Depending on their service, these are variously state regulated, federally licensed and/or municipally franchised providers. City-managed utilities are sewer, water, storm water and solid waste. Non city-managed utilities are electricity, natural gas, other petroleum gas, telephone, personal wireless services, and cable. Non city-managed utilities providers include Puget Sound Energy (PSE) (electrical), Cascade Natural Gas (natural gas), and providers of telephone services. The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) regulate these utilities. Personal wireless service providers serving Poulsbo are those licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the Radio Frequency Spectrum for wireless telecommunications service and registered to do business in Poulsbo. Cable services are provided under municipal franchise.
