The Board of Directors is composed of six members, three of whom are elected at-large and three of whom are elected by district. A map of the current BPU districts can be found by clicking here.

Every two years, three members are elected for four-year terms. The Board chooses a president, vice president and secretary from its own membership. Members receive a monthly salary of $950. The treasurer of the Unified Government is the ex-officio treasurer of the Board. The Board is charged with the duty to hire a General Manager, who serves as the BPU’s chief executive officer, and who administers day-to-day utility operations.
