CWA is dedicated to protecting our precious water resources, and wants its customers to be part of this important water conservation effort.
Clean water is more than just good-tasting water.
While CWA is proud that its drinking water won the 2000 Environmental Protection Agency s regional water tasting competition, CWA is committed to providing clean, pure water water that meets all regulatory requirements to all of our customers, in the quantity that they require. Protecting our drinking water resources takes individual, family, and community action. There is no more or less water on the planet than there was 100 or even 100,000 years ago. But only about one percent of all the water on Earth is drinkable. About 97 percent of the water is frozen and the rest is too salty to drink.
