Environmental Stewardship

NAWC members are committed to protecting the environment and to using our most precious resource – water – as wisely as possible. Improving environmental stewardship is one of the most often-cited reasons municipalities give for deciding to work with a water company. For water companies, sustainability is essential. The fact is, water companies are helping to lead the way on water conservation with green, energy-saving initiatives that make a difference for the communities they serve.

From Connecticut to California, our members are educating customers about the importance of protecting natural resources and the environment. NAWC members have a strong track record of helping communities improve their water conservation practices through award-winning community education programs and water audits. By utilizing smart water use practices – like water recycling and leak detection technology – water companies are leading the way in protecting the environment and promoting sustainable solutions.
