Infrastructure

Ferndale's infrastructure relies on a mix of municipal and regional providers: * **Electricity and Natural Gas:** Provided primarily by Puget Sound Energy (PSE), with some surrounding rural areas served by the Whatcom County Public Utility District (PUD). * **Water and Sewer:** The City of Ferndale operates its own water and wastewater treatment systems. Water is sourced from local wells and managed to meet the growing population's needs. * **Telecommunications:** High-speed internet, broadband, and cellular services are provided by major carriers such as Comcast (Xfinity), Ziply Fiber, and various national cellular networks, ensuring strong connectivity. * **Waste Management:** Garbage and recycling services are contracted out to private providers like Sanitary Service Company (SSC).
