About AMU
Anoka Municipal Utility (AMU) is a community-owned, not-for-profit, electric supplier serving the city of Anoka, and portions of the cities of Ramsey, Coon Rapids, Champlin and Dayton.
The citizens of Anoka chose to create AMU over a century ago in the year 1909 under the name "Anoka Electric & Water Works", to provide economical, reliable electric power and have local control over an essential service. Later, it was renamed Anoka Municipal Utility, and in 1992, AMU and seven other cities joined together to form MMPA.

Staff
Utility Shop
We have 19 full-time employees dedicated to serving our customers by providing high quality electrical service. There is always someone on-call to restore power, rain or shine. They are a dedicated, hard-working team that you can count on to provide the very best service! The utility shop is located by the Anoka Train Station, it is the home-base for the linemen that service the power lines, do utility maintenance, and much more.
Billing Department
As a department of the City of Anoka, Anoka Municipal Utility (AMU) has its utility billing staff located inside of Anoka City Hall. The utility shop, however, is in its own building a couple blocks away. The Anoka City Hall is located at the convergence of the Mississippi and Rum Rivers. The community name "Anoka" is said to derive from a Dakota term for "on both sides of the river" and an Ojibwa term for "working waters."
Anoka City Hall is where customers go to set-up their utility accounts and transact other business. Check out our Community Resource and Residents’ Guide there as well!
