Tullahoma’s utility services date back to 1901, when the Electric Light and Water Works Commission was formed to provide electricity and water. By 1912, the city had established electric rates and financed water lines, with early customers paying as little as 75 cents per home.
In 1947, TVA took over electric distribution from the Tennessee Electric Power Company, leading to the creation of the Board of Public Utilities in 1948. By 1959, the board also assumed control of the city’s water and wastewater systems, improving efficiency and reducing water loss.
TUA moved into its current headquarters on South Jackson Street in 1977, expanding its commitment to the community. In 2008, under the leadership of President Brian Skelton, TUA launched LightTube, offering fiber-optic internet, TV, and phone services to residents and businesses. LightTube was designed to support economic growth, remote work, and local connectivity, making TUA the only fiber-to-the-premise provider in Tullahoma.
In 2016, TUA transitioned to a state Authority, gaining financial and operational independence from the city. Today, TUA continues to power Tullahoma’s future with reliable electric, water, wastewater, and fiber services, all backed by 24/7 local support.
