About NAWC
The National Association of Water Companies (NAWC) represents all aspects of the private water service industry. The range of our members’ business includes ownership of regulated drinking water and wastewater utilities and the many forms of public-private partnerships and management contract arrangements.
- Founded in 1895 by 16 small water companies in Pennsylvania, NAWC today has members in every region of the U.S.
- NAWC’s membership ranges in size from large companies owning and/or operating many hundreds of utilities in multiple states to individual utilities with only a few hundred customers.
- NAWC can trace its member companies' roots back nearly 200 years.
- Every day nearly 73 million Americans — almost one in four — receive water service from a privately owned water utility or a municipal utility operating under a public-private partnership.
