 APPENDIX A
OPERATING RESPONSIBILITIES AND ORGANIZATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
1. OPERATING RESPONSIBILITIES. Generally, the Utilities Division of the activity Public
Works Department (PWD) is responsible for operation of electric power distribution systems.
All functions concerning the electric power distribution system that are not specifically assigned

responsibilities accordingly. There must be complete cooperation, coordination, and correlation
between operations and other groups of the PWD. Frequently, this extends to the elements of the
