They translate into lower interest rates and ultimately millions of dollars in savings for our taxpayers as we continue to make strategic investments in facilities and infrastructure that support the county’s high quality of life. These ratings will help us provide tremendous value as we improve and modernize our public utilities system, making it stronger, with enhanced redundancies and resiliency, for all our customers.”
