Rolla Municipal Utilities is a municipally owned electric and water utility serving the City of Rolla, Missouri. The City of Rolla purchased the electric and water systems within the corporate limits of Rolla from the Missouri General Utilities Company on October 31, 1945. The Rolla Board of Public Works took control of the system at that time, and became responsible for all assets and liabilities. In addition to the purchase of the electric system from Missouri General Utilities Company, RMU also assumed responsibility for operation and maintenance of all water mains within the City of Rolla.
