Private water and wastewater providers are professional utility companies that specialize in providing vital water and wastewater services to customers across a specific service area.

These providers own, operate, maintain and make necessary investments to upgrade or improve water and wastewater infrastructure in communities across America.

Water is essential. We drink it, cook with it, bathe in it and use it to grow food and produce the goods that sustain our daily lives.

Yet many people underestimate just how much water goes into everything we rely on, and how much work goes on behind the scenes to keep it safe, clean, and reliable.

National Fire Prevention Week is a great reminder to keep your home and communities safe from fire hazards.

Learn, share, act: Test your alarms, monitor cooking, give heaters space, use lithium-ion batteries safely, and thank your local firefighters for their service.
