February 14th 2008, Herlong Utilities Inc. became Herlong Public Utility District.

By becoming a public agency it open the door to new possiblities for the whole community.  As a public agency, HPUD now qualified for USDA grants/loans, FEMA, DOD grants, State funded projects and so much more.  This lower our property taxes and insurance for the agency.  Your leaders help secure two USDA loan/grants for both water and sewer in 2009 and 2013.  DOD grant in 2015, FEMA grant in 2022, CalFire Grant 2021, FEMA grant 2023, and our SRF (State Revolving Fund) grant from the State waterboard..
