Internet By and For Fort Pierce

A Utility Built by the Community, for the Community

Fort Pierce Utilities Authority was established by popular vote in 1972. Fort Pierce residents chose to own and operate their own utility rather than rely on investor-owned providers, and that decision has shaped everything about the way FPUA operates over 50 years later.

FPUA operates independently of the City of Fort Pierce but works collaboratively to serve Fort Pierce residents and selected areas of unincorporated St. Lucie County. Our board holds public meetings where every ratepayer has a voice. Decisions are made here, not in a distant boardroom.

FPUAnet, our fiber internet service, is the newest chapter in that story. Every dollar you spend on FPUAnet stays in Fort Pierce, supporting better infrastructure, smarter city services, and a stronger community.

"To provide our customers with economical, reliable, and friendly service in a continuous effort to enhance the quality of life in our community."

FPUAnet was launched to bring Fort Pierce into the fiber age, on Fort Pierce’s own terms. As the community’s own utility, we have the unique ability to invest in infrastructure that serves residents rather than shareholders.

We are one of a very small number of communities in the United States served by a municipal utility that also provides internet service alongside electric, water, wastewater, and natural gas.
