About the National Association of Water Companies:
Founded in 1895 by a handful of small water companies, today the National Association of Water Companies (NAWC) has members located throughout the nation, ranging in size from large companies owning, operating or partnering with hundreds of utilities in multiple states to individual utilities serving a few hundred customers. These companies were built by men and women who engineered solutions and earned the public’s trust by treating and delivering a vital resource year after year. Our members’ businesses include ownership of state-regulated drinking water and wastewater utilities and many forms of public-private partnerships. Through the NAWC, our members collaborate, share best practices and leverage their strengths to benefit the communities they serve.
