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
contributed to the success of your program in your company.WSUTA works closely with the
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
participate in the growth and prosperity of the Western States Utility Theft
Association and the International Utilities Revenue Protection Association.
