We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the Western States Utility
Theft Association. This regional group 🌜 was founded in 1987 as Western States Energy
Theft Association (WSETA) with the intent to bring utility companies together from 🌜 the
Western United States. In 2001 the name was changed to Western States Utility Theft
Association. Our mission is to 🌜 identify measures to protect our companies from revenue
losses associated with unauthorized use of service.Each year, WSUTA hosts a conference
🌜 where revenue protection professionals may learn about and share perspectives on the
issues faced by our membership. Vendors aligned with 🌜 our mission proudly display the
latest technology and services and provide options for consideration in the pursuit of
reducing theft 🌜 of utility service.Attention Revenue Assurance Professionals!The Western
States Utility Theft Association Conference has been scheduled for September 25 - 28,
🌜 2024 in Ontario, California.Please go to Conference Information for details.WSUTA
consists of officers who are elected by the WSUTA members 🌜 at the annual conference.
Membership in the organization requires only that an interested member be a utility
employee whose principle 🌜 activity involves recovery and/or the protection of revenues.
A Board of Advisors made up of former officers provides guidance and 🌜 assistance in
coordinating the annual conference.The utility industry has become very dynamic. The
issue of competition among utilities around the 🌜 world is a reality. Utilities that were
once closely regulated or controlled by the government are now becoming deregulated and
🌜 privately owned. The added value of protecting against the loss of diminishing profits
from unauthorized use of the utility's service 🌜 is becoming a higher priority. The
ability to accomplish this objective with the highest efficiency and cost effectiveness
is our 🌜 goal.The Western States Utility Theft Association is a not for profit,
professional association comprised of western US utility representatives with 🌜 a mission
of developing and supporting an ongoing effort to combat revenue loss through utility
diversion, thereby reducing the unfair 🌜 financial burden placed on other utility
customers and stakeholders.WSUTA Revenue Protection Professional of the Year.We are
seeking to recognize revenue 🌜 protection personnel within the utilities for their
outstanding dedication and service in the field of Revenue Protection which have

International Utility Revenue Protection Association. IURPA represents 🌜 a vast resource
of remarkable people with valuable information. We congratulate our members and vendors
for making WSUTA the success 🌜 it has become and welcome our new members and vendors to
