Microsoft, Mishawaka, and the Mercedes of Municipal Utilities

When it comes to high-stakes infrastructure for a multi-billion-dollar tech facility, there’s no room for cut-rate solutions. Enter Microsoft, a global titan poised to build a data center in our region. Their mission? Efficiency, reliability, and world-class infrastructure. And that means choosing partners who don’t cut corners—or corners of corners.

Let’s talk water and sewer.

Mishawaka Utilities Water (MUW) and Wastewater (MUWW) are the municipal equivalents of a finely tuned Mercedes—precision-engineered, high-performing, and built to handle the rigorous demands of a 21st-century data powerhouse. We’re not just providing pipes and pumps. We’re delivering performance, reliability, and peace of mind.

Now, contrast that with some… other options.

Picture a Yugo. Yes, that Yugo—the budget car icon of questionable international infamy. That’s essentially what you get with some alternative utility providers in the area. Sure, they have wheels. They might get you from point A to point B—eventually—but don’t expect speed, comfort, or anything resembling world-class service.

Unfortunately, some folks still insist on dressing up that Yugo, pouring money into new paint, fancy rims, maybe even a spoiler (why, we’ll never know). But here’s the truth: no matter how many bells and whistles you slap on it, a Yugo is still a Yugo.

And Microsoft deserves better.

They deserve infrastructure that’s ready now. Not in five years. Not if and when someone figures out how to build it. And certainly not from the same crew that’s still patching the bumper on their last failed utility experiment.

With MUW and MUWW, Mishawaka offers more than just dependable infrastructure—we offer a proven track record, experienced professionals, and a community-backed commitment to excellence. We’re not trying to become a top-tier utility. We already are one.

So let’s be honest: if you were Microsoft, would you trust your data center to a duct-taped Yugo… or to Mishawaka’s utility Lamborghini?
