Lodi Fire Receives $2 Million in State Funding

This week, Lodi Fire was honored to receive $2 million in state funding to help provide our first responders with the equipment they need to save lives and protect our community. Lodi Fire is grateful to Assemblyman Heath Flora and the Lodi City Council for helping secure this important investment in Lodi Fire's fleet and for their continued commitment to public safety.

Lodi's #23 Annual Coastal Cleanup "Steps Up" Strong

Lodi volunteers stepped up and stepped out on Saturday, September 19, for the City of Lodi’s 23rd Annual Coastal Cleanup at Lodi Lake. 86 first-time and veteran volunteers joined forces for some water-pollution-prevention housekeeping before the rainy season arrives. Some volunteers logged as many as 4,000 steps, about a mile and a half, as they combed Lodi Lake Park and the Mokelumne River shoreline, picking up the litter that could otherwise make its way into local waterways.

Celebrate Our Community Public Utility during Public Power Week

Next week, Lodi joins more than 2,000 public power systems across the US in celebrating Public Power Week. Your Community. Your Utility. Your Power!

Since 1910, Lodi Electric Utility has been serving friends and neighbors in Lodi with safe, reliable electricity at not-for-profit rates. Because the utility is community-owned, Lodi residents have a direct say in how it’s run and directly benefit from locally owned utilities.

On October 15, Lodi Electric Utility will welcome students for a day of hands-on learning, electrical safety, and a behind-the-scenes look at the people and teamwork that power Lodi!

Follow Lodi Electric Utility on Facebook to learn about your community-owned public utility during Public Power week.

Submit your artwork for this year's theme: Mokelumne & Consumes River Wetlands: Helping Migrating Birds.

Your artwork may be displayed at the Lodi Sandhill Crane Festival, November 7 and 8, 2026 at Hutchins Street Square.
